This three-bedroom detached new-build at Dallington Grange Farm is a compact, energy-efficient home arranged over a traditional layout. The light open-plan kitchen/diner and adjoining lounge benefit from large windows and French doors that open onto a partially walled rear garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow for family life. The main bedroom includes an en suite; a second double and a small third bedroom (suitable as a single bedroom or home office) complete the upstairs.
Practical positives include contemporary finishes, good mobile signal and a modern heating system implied by new construction. The development sits near open green space and country parkland, offering countryside views and access to rural walks while remaining in the city/major town setting of Northampton. Nearby schools include a top-performing primary and an independent option, making the location sensible for families.
Buyers should note material drawbacks frankly: the total living area is small at about 770 sq ft, the property is in a very deprived area with above-average crime, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Tenure is unknown and there is only one full bathroom plus an en suite; the family bathroom includes a shower-over-bath as standard. These factors affect suitability for some buyers and should be checked before offer.
Overall this home will suit a small family or first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance, new-build home with countryside access. It also offers straightforward refurbishment potential if buyers want to reconfigure or upgrade services, but factor in likely costs for faster broadband and any security measures desired given local crime levels.
