Description As it stands, Plot 1 is currently built to a wind and watertight level.
The property is currently available for purchase in its present condition, with the buyer acquiring the structural shell of the house, providing a unique opportunity to complete the finishes themself.
The current architectural plans compromise of a double height vestibule, hall, large kitchen/dining/family room, lounge with bay window, WC, utility, downstairs bedroom with ensuite, upstairs master bedroom with ensuite and dressing room, a third bedroom with ensuite, two further bedroom and a family bathroom.
The bespoke nature of this build means that the house can be built to be completely individual to you.
Outside, there is a driveway, parking area and a low maintenance garden, which again can be designed to suit your individual preferences.
The property also benefits from exceptionally high eco standards.
It is being built to Passivhaus Standard and some of the credentials include Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery System (mvhr), Triple glazing/Soundproofing, cost effective solar panels (16) with 10KW battery storage, Insulation to a level beyond current guidelines and the EPC rating is likely to be A (infrastructure is identical to completed property next door which is rated A).
This is a home being built with exceptional attention to detail, using high-quality materials and offering numerous premium features that go far beyond the average new build.
As the property is still awaiting completion, the following photographs and drawings are to illustrate what the completed property could look like and include artistic interpretations and examples from Plot 2.
Therefore, the images are for illustrative purposes only.
This provides a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to purchase a high quality new build home and complete the interior details at a slower pace perhaps by themself or with a builder of their choosing.
