This four-bedroom detached new-build offers a practical family layout with bright living spaces and useful extras. The ground floor provides a large entrance hall, a bay-windowed lounge, an open-plan kitchen/dining area with French doors to the rear, a separate study and a guest WC — useful for home working and family life. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite; three further bedrooms share a contemporary family bathroom with a separate shower. A detached single garage provides private parking.
The house benefits from a generous plot and thoughtfully placed windows that give natural light to the lounge, study and two bedrooms. At about 987 sq ft the interior is compact but organised, making this a good option for growing families who value layout and light over expansive internal square footage. As a new-build, the property will be finished to modern standards and comes with a modest annual service charge of £120 and a reservation fee of £500.
Buyers should note several material factors: the development sits in an area with above-average crime rates and high local deprivation indicators. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — factors that may affect home working or streaming. Council tax banding is TBC. Tenure details confirm freehold for this plot, but buyers should check full estate covenants or planning details before purchase.
Overall, the house is aimed at constrained young families and first-time buyers upsizing who want a low-maintenance, contemporary home with good natural light, a study and private parking. The property suits buyers prepared to accept limited internal floor area in exchange for a new-build specification, a very large private plot and practical family-focused rooms.
