Energy-efficient three-bedroom starter home with deposit help and fitted appliances.
Three-bedroom detached new-build with en-suite principal bedroom
A compact three-bedroom detached new-build on Hurworth Meadows designed for first-time buyers or small families seeking low-maintenance living. The Foxglove offers an open-plan kitchen/dining room, a separate lounge with French doors to a small enclosed garden, and a principal bedroom with en-suite — all finished to a contemporary specification with neutral fittings.
The package includes practical extras that reduce early costs: integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, included flooring, and a first-time buyer contribution of £5,000 towards deposit plus £1,000 towards legal fees. Energy-efficient features such as solar panels, premium insulation and an EV charging point help lower running costs; the property also holds an EPC band B and is sold freehold with a modest estate management charge (approx. £110+VAT pa).
Buyers should note the home is compact (approx. 609 sq ft) with small rooms and modest outdoor space — suitable for singles, couples, or young families rather than those needing generous living areas. Practical downsides include slow broadband in the area and a higher local crime rate; the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale for some purchasers.
Overall this is a well-specified, energy-efficient starter home that reduces up-front cost and day-to-day energy spend, but it is a small property in an area with social and infrastructure challenges. Viewing is recommended to judge room sizes and local context in person.
