This newly built five-bedroom detached house offers modern family living with generous outdoor space and practical layout. The open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with French doors creates a bright social hub, while the separate lounge and study give space for quieter activities or home working. The property includes a double garage and very large plot, providing strong outdoor and storage potential for families.
The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and en-suite; a second bedroom also has an en-suite, and there is a modern family bathroom. Built with energy-efficient features (solar panels noted), the house suits buyers seeking lower running costs and contemporary finishes. Room dimensions are compact in places, so consider furniture planning carefully given the overall internal size of c.1,146 sq ft.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and local crime statistics are above average. The neighbourhood and wider area are described as constrained/hampered and very deprived, which may affect resale and day-to-day convenience. An annual service charge applies (shown at £120–£174 depending on plot).
This home will appeal to young families who prioritise modern layout, outdoor space and a garage, and who are comfortable investing in connectivity upgrades or accepting local area challenges. Viewing is recommended to assess internal proportions and the surrounding neighbourhood in person.
