The Lacemaker is a newly built three-bedroom semi-detached home arranged over three levels, designed with family life in mind. The ground floor’s open-plan living and dining area, backed by a bay window and French doors, creates a bright, flexible space that opens onto an average-sized rear garden — handy for children and outdoor entertaining. A separate U-shaped kitchen, cloakroom and understairs storage add practical day-to-day convenience.
Upstairs accommodation includes three double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms; the principal bedroom occupies the whole second floor and benefits from a dressing area and dormer window. The property totals about 1,228 sq ft and includes an integral garage and allocated parking, making it suitable for growing families, second-steppers or couples wanting long-term space.
This is a new build with a 10-year NHBC Buildmark policy and a 5-star HBF builder rating in 2025, offering reassurance on construction standards and aftercare. The property is freehold with a modest estate management charge of £102 and falls into council tax band C. There’s stamp duty relief for first-time buyers on qualifying purchases.
Buyers should note some material drawbacks: the development’s recorded local crime levels are very high and broadband speeds are very slow — both important for working-from-home households or security-conscious buyers. The neighbourhood is described as an aspiring urban area within a minor conurbation; consider local transport and commute needs before viewing.
