This detached four-bedroom home was built in February 2024 by the highly regarded david wilson homes (5 star rating from the home builders federation).

Despite being only 2 years old, the property has since been tastefully enhanced by the owners.
This outstanding home offers the rare combination of modern living, thoughtful upgrades and a fantastic village lifestyle within a small sized development that has been architecturally designed to create a feeling of open space.
Accommodation overview Stepping through the front door, the welcoming entrance hall at once sets the tone, featuring stylish panelling, Amtico herringbone flooring and upgraded spotlights.
The generous lounge provides a relaxing retreat, with feature panelling and a media unit which will remain.
There is also a downstairs WC, additional storage, and a dedicated study, complete with attractive wall panelling – ideal for working from home.

The current owners have significantly upgraded the space with Quartz worktops, high splashbacks, a granite sink, new induction hob, additional cupboards, upgraded sockets, spotlights and stylish lighting.
Integrated AEG appliances, dishwasher, and fridge freezer remain, alongside a water softener, filter tap and useful plinth lighting.
Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite.
Three further bedrooms are complemented by a contemporary family bathroom, with upgraded spotlights throughout the first floor. Shutters throughout the home will also remain.
Outside The south-west facing rear garden, landscaped with porcelain tiling, artificial lawn, and planters, creates a low-maintenance space, perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
For further enhancement, Soffit lighting has been added, front and rear.
