People walk and cycle on a street lined with modern red-brick houses. Trees and a bright sky add a peaceful, suburban feel.

First Impressions form the Outside


The show home spans more than 1,800 square feet across three floors. A wide driveway and EV charging point immediately signal thoughtful planning. The exterior is polished and contemporary, setting expectations for the interiors that follow. Built on a former golf course, the property enjoys uninterrupted greenery and a rare sense of privacy.

Modern kitchen with wooden table, white pendant light, and yellow accents. Minimalist decor, plants, light wood floor, and bright ambiance.

Open Plan Living on the Ground Floor

 

Stepping inside, the generous ceiling heights define the ground floor. “It definitely goes above the average new build ceiling height,” Millie observes. Luxury vinyl flooring unifies the space, leading into a well appointed kitchen where Silestone worktops, handleless cabinetry and integrated appliances set a refined tone. Storage is abundant, and a built in oven with an air fryer becomes an unexpected highlight. Lighting is layered with spotlights, ambient LED strips and soft Scandi inspired pendants.

Brick house with large windows, wooden fences, and green lawn under a blue sky. Pathway leads to a back door. Bright, sunny day.

The tiered garden continues the home’s connection to nature. Fresh turf, surrounding trees and a storage shed make the space functional and serene. Downstairs also includes Northstone’s clever “Lootility,” a combined WC and utility room designed to maximise efficiency without compromise.

A Second Living Room Upstairs

 

On the first floor, the main living room feels expansive and indulgent. “It almost feels like a cinema room,” Millie says, imagining it with a projector. Plush carpeting, triple glazed windows and enhanced insulation elevate comfort while reducing noise and energy use.


Minimalist office with a wooden desk, chair, beige armchair, large abstract paintings, and window blinds. Soft lighting, calm atmosphere.

An adjacent office provides flexibility and could easily double as a bar or snack station for film nights.


Cozy kids' room with two beds, striped sheets, and yellow blankets. Walls adorned with playful art. Window with blinds, warm lighting.

A cozy bedroom with a canopy bed, pink and white decor, a "LOVE" pillow, and a warm light. A desk and wardrobe add to the peaceful setting.

Bedrooms and Family Spaces

 

Two bedrooms and a fully tiled family bathroom complete the first floor. Both rooms receive generous natural light and are sized for either children or guests. The thoughtful layout and finishes emphasise everyday comfort.

A Private Top Floor Suite

​

The top floor reveals the home’s most luxurious feature: a full private suite. Divided into a bedroom, living area and bathroom, the level feels like a boutique hotel. “This whole room is yours, which is just so luxurious,” Millie notes. A built in coffee station and fridge add to the sense of indulgence. The bedroom features a tall bouclé headboard, natural light and ample storage, while the Jack and Jill bathroom includes Vitra sanitaryware and full height tiling.

A Rooftop Garden Above It All


The suite opens onto a peaceful roof garden with composite decking, outdoor dining space and solar panels that support the home’s energy efficiency. Surrounded by greenery and shielded from neighbouring views, the space feels calm and private. “It doesn’t feel like a new build roof garden. It just feels peaceful,” Millie reflects.


Red-brick house with blue windows, two cars parked in driveways, clear sky. Modern architecture with a mix of vibrant and earthy tones.

With generous ceiling heights, flexible living spaces and a strong sustainability focus, Northstone’s Cynefin development delivers a polished and practical approach to contemporary family living. As Millie concludes, “You have to come and see this place in person because it is even better in real life.”
