Set within the eco-conscious Elmsbrook development, this five-bedroom detached house offers generous family space across nearly 1,950 sq ft. The ground floor combines a bright lounge, open-plan kitchen-diner and separate study, while five bedrooms upstairs include a principal with walk-through dressing area and en suite. An integral garage, driveway parking for multiple vehicles and EV charging add everyday practicality.
This home has clear eco credentials: solar panels, rainwater harvesting and an EV point reduce running costs and appeal to low‑carbon lifestyles. The rear garden has been recently landscaped and is larger than average for the immediate area, providing a sheltered, child‑friendly lawn and patio for entertaining.
Practical considerations are stated plainly. Heating is provided through a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, which has different cost and service implications. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — significant if you work frequently from home or stream large files. Crime levels in the locality are noted as high, and council tax is described as quite expensive; both are material factors for budgeting and household security decisions.
Overall this is a well-presented, modern family home in a sought-after eco village, suited to buyers prioritising space, environmental features and outside amenity. Those needing fast broadband or preferring independent heating systems should factor these points into any viewing and survey decisions.
