A Modern Countryside Presence

The home's exterior pairs traditional red brick with dark heritage-style boarding, creating a contemporary interpretation of country architecture. Positioned on an end plot, it benefits from the additional outdoor space, with a detached double garage and large driveway. The surrounding grounds provide ample opportunity for outdoor entertaining and family life.

A Bright and Welcoming Entrance

Inside, a bright main hall makes the room feel bigger right away. The galleried landing above enhances the volume of the room, while a formal lounge and flexible snug or office sits either side of the hallway. The setup feels well-thought-out as soon as you walk in.

A Kitchen Designed Around Family Life

At the centre of the home is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. A large island centres the space, serving as a countertop and a space to socialise. "This actually might be one of the biggest islands we've seen so far on The New Build Show," says Millie. The kitchen combines forest green cabinetry, integrated Siemens appliances, and abundant storage, and the island's integrated sink and hob helps keep the family connected.

Practicality Meets Entertaining

A separate utility room extends the kitchen's function, providing additional storage and workspace while keeping everyday appliances neatly tucked away.

Large sliding doors connect the living space to the garden, making it easy to move from inside to outside. Looking across the patio and lawn, Millie reflects that you can "really start to get a feel for how peaceful and quiet it is" highlighting one of the property's strongest selling points.

Flexible Spaces for Modern Living

Alongside the open-plan living area are two additional lounges that can adapt to changing needs. One offers the flexibility to function as a study, family room, or hobby space, while the formal lounge provides a more private area for guests. The home is especially well-suited for family living since it has both communal and private areas.

Four Generously Sized Bedrooms

The top floor centres around a bright galleried landing and four spacious double bedrooms. Two benefit from en-suite bathrooms, while a large family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Millie notes that "all of these rooms up here are such a great size, which is quite unique to find in a new property" a quality that distinguishes the home from many new-build alternatives.

A Home Delivering Exceptional Value

As the home's most refined bedroom, the principal suite offers a tranquil escape from the busier family spaces below complete with a stylish en-suite bathroom finished in the same cohesive palette seen throughout the house. Combined with the generous layout, countryside setting, and high specification, the property offers remarkable value for its price point. As Millie concludes, "You might think this house costs over £1 million, but it's actually a lot, lot less." The home's spacious size and well-thought-out design leaves a lasting impression.
