About
3 THE POPLARS Positioned within The Poplars, a private road serving just four homes, this substantial detached residence offers an excellent combination of space, privacy and forward-thinking energy efficiency - a rare opportunity within Beck Row.
From arrival, the property immediately stands apart.
The wide frontage, established lawned garden and detached double garage create a strong sense of presence, while the private road setting provides a quieter residential environment suited to long-term family living.
Internally, the home offers balanced and versatile accommodation designed around modern family life.
The entrance hall forms a central hub leading to a generous dual-aspect lounge extending to over 21 feet in length, providing an excellent main living space with direct access into the garden room beyond.
The kitchen is both practical and social in layout, offering extensive work surfaces, integrated appliances and excellent storage, complemented by a separate utility room that keeps everyday household activity neatly contained.
A formal dining room provides space for entertaining and family gatherings, while a dedicated study offers ideal work-from-home flexibility.
The garden room enjoys open views across the rear garden and adds a bright additional reception area, equally suited as a relaxed sitting space, playroom or secondary living room.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a spacious landing.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, with the remaining bedrooms served by a modern family bathroom.
The overall layout provides comfortable and adaptable accommodation for families at different stages of life. A defining feature of the property is its future-ready energy performance.
Approximately sixteen solar panels, originally installed under a Feed-in Tariff scheme, work alongside a dual Grant air source heat pump system to support lower running costs and improved energy efficiency, reflected in the home's strong EPC rating of B87.
Performance and financial benefits will naturally vary, however installations of this type commonly provide meaningful annual savings alongside reduced reliance on traditional heating systems.
