This five-bedroom detached new-build on a large plot suits growing families seeking contemporary space and low-carbon features. The house offers an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a separate family room, both with French doors that open to a substantial rear garden — ideal for indoor-outdoor family living and entertaining. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en suite, and Bedroom 2 also benefits from an en suite, giving practical privacy for parents and children.
Practical features include PV panels for reduced running costs, a separate laundry room, downstairs WC and a double garage with driveway parking. Room proportions are family-friendly (total about 1,172 sq ft) with a bay-windowed lounge that brings extra light. The property is sold as a freehold new-build with an annual service charge of £176 and a £500 reservation fee.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the area records above-average crime and a medium flood risk, which may affect insurance and long-term running costs. The development is in a wider area characterised by older workers and retirement and nearby local classification indicates endeavouring social renters — consider local context and schooling options when assessing resale or rental potential.
Overall this is a contemporary, well-equipped family home with strong outdoor space and low-carbon features. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising open-plan living, multiple en suites and generous private gardens, but those sensitive to local crime statistics or flood risk should carry out specific due diligence and insurance checks.
