- guide price £375,000 - £400,000 - This is a three bedroom home that really stands out for its layout, finish and garden, with a much more open and sociable feel than you’d typically expect.

Downstairs, almost the entire floor is open plan and works brilliantly as one big living space.

The kitchen sits at the centre, with plenty of units and a large island that creates a natural divide between the dining area and the lounge at the rear.

Bifolding doors span out onto the garden, so in the warmer months you can open everything up and make the garden feel like an extension of the house.

There’s also a downstairs cloakroom tucked away separately. The garden is easily one of the best favourite parts of the home.

It’s a really good size, has been properly landscaped rather than simply turfed and patioed, and feels surprisingly private for a newer estate.

There’s plenty of room for outdoor seating and entertaining, making it a great space when you’ve got friends or family over.

Upstairs, there are three genuinely good sized bedrooms, with even the third bedroom offering plenty of usable space.

Both the master and second bedroom have built-in wardrobes, while the master also benefits from its own en suite shower room. There’s also a separate family bathroom.

Parking is another big plus, with space for three cars on the driveway as well as a single garage.

If you love the idea of open-plan living but don’t want to compromise on bedroom sizes, garden space or parking, this one gets a lot right.
