Why buy this home?

Available with no upper chain is this beautifully presented detached home built by Redrow in 2020. It forms part of their sought-after Heritage Collection and showcases the builder's 'The Stratford' design. Inspired by traditional features yet crafted for modern living, this property combines elegance with practical family features.

As you enter the home, one of the first things you’ll notice is the higher than average ceiling height, a distinctive feature of the developer and this continues throughout the home.

The living room is a bright and inviting area and its generous size offers flexibility when deciding what furniture to have and how to lay it out. The neutral decor provides a blank canvas, allowing you to add your own personal touches and accessories to suit your family's taste. A large window floods the room with natural light, and the inclusion of stylish shutters offers both privacy and excellent light control whilst making the room feel cosier in the colder months.

Spanning the rear of the property is a stunning and upgraded kitchen/diner, which is the heart of the home. The kitchen features shaker-style units that offer abundant storage, complemented by Silestone worktops that provide a sleek, durable surface to prepare food. A large central island not only provides extra counter space and a breakfast bar but also includes more built-in storage to help keep everything organised. Fitted appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, double oven, and a gas hob with an extractor fan overhead, as well as a fridge/freezer. For added convenience, a dedicated cupboard is designed to house your washing machine and tumble dryer, freeing up valuable space in the kitchen. The dining area comfortably accommodates a six-seater table, with room to expand for larger gatherings if desired. The room is enhanced by premium Porcelanosa plank tiles, bringing a contemporary finish that’s as tough as it is stylish. A major highlight of this room is the direct connection to the rear garden through large French doors. This seamless indoor-outdoor flow is perfect for modern family living, allowing parents to easily keep an eye on children playing outside while they are in the kitchen.

The rear garden is a well maintained and landscaped space that sets this home apart from a brand-new build one. Directly accessible from the house is a spacious patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. From there, the garden extends to a lush lawn area, bordered by raised flower beds that add structure and a splash of greenery. A standout feature of the garden is a fantastic sheltered decked area which provides a secluded and covered space to unwind in any weather. This area is ideal for hosting barbecues, enjoying evening drinks, or creating a quiet reading nook.

The upstairs of this home features four well-proportioned bedrooms, designed for comfortable family living. Three of the bedrooms can fit a double bed, and the main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, giving you a private, convenient space to get ready in away from the rest of the home. Bedrooms one and two are further enhanced by high-quality Hammonds fitted wardrobes, providing plenty of storage. The fourth bedroom, currently utilised as a study, also boasts practical Hammonds wardrobes, cupboards, and shelving, making it a versatile space for work or hobbies. The remaining three bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom, ensuring sufficient facilities for everyone.
