This two-bedroom semi-detached new build on Diamond Road offers efficient, low-running-cost living tailored for first-time buyers. The home comes with solar panels, an air-to-water heat pump, high insulation and an EV charging point, cutting energy bills and supporting sustainable motoring. An open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with French doors opens to a private garden, giving easy indoor–outdoor flow for everyday life.
Internally the layout is compact but well planned: a U-shaped kitchen with integrated appliances, useful storage cupboards and two bedrooms upstairs served by a single family bathroom. The property includes two allocated off-street parking spaces and a 10-year new homes warranty, which provides reassurance against construction defects in the early years.
Be aware of material drawbacks: the home is small (around 456 sq ft) with only one bathroom, and local broadband speeds are reported as very slow — important if you work from home. Crime in the immediate area is reported as high, which buyers should consider alongside the otherwise affluent local area and strong commuter links.
Overall, this freehold new build is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking a modern, energy-efficient starter home with low running costs and an outdoor space to personalise. Its compact size and limited internal space mean it will appeal to those prioritising sustainability, low bills and commuter convenience over large rooms.
