This two-bedroom semi delivers a compact, modern layout aimed at first-time buyers or couples seeking low-maintenance living. The ground floor's open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area opens via French doors to a private rear garden, creating an easy flow for everyday life and entertaining. Two allocated off-street parking spaces and an EV charging point add practical convenience for car owners.
The home is new-build and comes with a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty, meaning major structural and building-standard protections are in place. Interiors are contemporary with average-sized rooms and built-in storage, plus a downstairs W/C and utility cupboard that improve day-to-day functionality. The property sits on a development promoted for strong outdoor amenity, including nearby towpath and waterside walks.
Be clear about the trade-offs: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and local recorded crime levels are high — factors to weigh for remote working, connectivity needs and personal security. There is a below-average service charge of £230; the home is freehold which avoids ongoing leasehold ground rent issues.
Overall this is a practical, warranty-backed purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who prioritises modern fixtures, parking and outdoor access. Budget for potential upgrades to broadband and consider security measures given the area crime data.
