This four-bedroom detached new build, The Lockwood, offers family-focused living with modern fixtures and practical layout. The ground floor’s open-plan kitchen/dining/family area and French doors lead to a private garden, while a separate lounge with a square bay creates a formal living space. Two bedrooms have en-suite showers and there is a useful laundry room, downstairs WC and single garage for storage and parking.
Built by a 5-star-rated developer and covered by a 10-year NHBC warranty, the home provides reassurance on build quality and after-sales care. Solar panels reduce running costs, mobile signal is excellent and the property is freehold with a modest annual service charge of £114.85.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: the home is in council tax band F (expensive) and the wider area is recorded as very deprived. Broadband speeds are average; consider this if you work heavily online. Optional purchase incentives (Assisted Move, deposit contributions) are available on selected plots — terms apply.
Overall, this is a contemporary, well-specified family house that balances practical everyday spaces and attractive period-style details. It will suit families seeking a ready-to-live-in new home with low initial maintenance and long-term warranty cover, while buyers concerned about local area indicators should investigate local services and schooling in person.
