Large private garden; southerly patio and newly planted beech hedging

This recently built four-bedroom detached house (The Brooking) offers spacious, energy-efficient family living in rural Diptford. At over 2,000 sq ft the home has an open-plan kitchen/dining/living layout, separate study/snug, principal bedroom with en suite, and landscaped southerly garden with paved patio—ideal for indoor-outdoor family days. Built in 2022 with ICF construction and a 10-year structural warranty, the property feels secure and low-maintenance.
The specification is focused on low running costs and modern comfort: EPC A, triple glazing, air source heat pump with underfloor heating, 5kW PV panels plus battery, and integrated Bosch appliances. Practical features include an integral garage, driveway parking, solid oak doors and porcelain tiled floors that work well for family life and reduce upkeep.
The plot is a major draw: a large private garden sits behind the house and additional adjoining land (circa 7.9 acres) is available separately, offering scope for paddocks, garden extension or smallholding uses. Note that the extra land currently has no connected services and would need separate negotiation and investment.
Be candid about limitations: the house sits in an isolated hamlet location, so everyday shops and services are a short drive away; broadband speeds are very slow and may not suit heavy remote-working households without alternative connectivity solutions. Council tax is not specified. Overall, this is a high-spec, low-energy family home for buyers prioritising space, sustainability and rural privacy.
