This newly built three-bedroom detached house on Bent House Lane offers efficient, low-maintenance living for growing families. The open-plan kitchen/dining room with French doors and a dual-aspect lounge create bright family spaces, while a separate laundry, downstairs WC and study add everyday practicality. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and the first floor also provides a family bathroom.
Plot 121 sits on a very large plot with two off-street parking spaces and solar panels fitted to the roof, helping to reduce running costs. The home’s compact internal size (approximately 618 sq ft) makes it easy to maintain, and the traditional layout will suit buyers who want straightforward rooms rather than expansive open-plan layouts.
Buyers should note some practical constraints: broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, crime rates are above average locally, and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived. There is an annual service charge of £120 and a reservation fee of £500. Tenure is freehold and the property is offered as a new build, so some optional extras are available at additional cost.
This house will appeal to first-time buyers or young families seeking a modern, energy-efficient starter home close to schools and local amenities. If you prioritise location, low upkeep and a secure new-build finish over large internal living areas, this home merits a viewing.
