A bright new-build four-bedroom detached house arranged over two storeys, designed for family life. The ground floor opens to a bay-windowed lounge and a striking open-plan kitchen with dining and family areas; French doors lead directly to a very large rear garden. Practicality is covered by a separate utility/laundry room, downstairs WC and single garage with driveway parking.
Upstairs the principal bedroom includes a walk-in dressing area and en-suite, and a second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite. A modern family bathroom with separate shower serves the remaining bedrooms. The home’s contemporary build and solar panels (as pictured) support efficient, low-maintenance living typical of new developments.
Important practical points: the internal floorspace is relatively small at about 987 sq ft, so room proportions are compact despite the generous plot. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and the local neighbourhood sits within a higher-than-average crime and high deprivation profile; these local factors will matter if working from home or prioritising area amenities.
Ownership details are straightforward: freehold new-build plots with a modest annual service charge (examples £120–£174) and a reservation fee of £500. This house suits families wanting modern layouts, outdoor space and low-maintenance new-build fabric, but those needing large internal rooms, fast internet or a very low-crime area should weigh these constraints.
