The Smartest Way To Buy A New-Build Starter Home Is To Let Someone Else Buy It First. This 2020 McDermott Homes semi on Farington Green is only six years old, the snag list is all sorted and the garden is large, landscaped & low maintenance.

When someone buys a new-build, they're essentially paying a premium to be the one who finds all the problems. The leaky tap, the stiff door, the tile that wasn't quite right - they deal with all of that so you don't have to. By the time a home like this comes back onto the market, it's already been road-tested for real life.

And there's still four years of NHBC warranty left to run. So you get the peace of mind of a nearly-new home with the reassurance that any bigger issues will be covered.

The ground floor is laid out the way a modern, family-friendly home should be - lounge at the front, kitchen-diner stretching across the back. The lounge is a good size, with wood-effect flooring and enough room for a proper corner sofa without it eating up the whole space. 

The kitchen has been fitted with light grey units, marble-effect worktops and an integrated oven with gas hob. There's a dining area at the back of the kitchen with French doors that open straight out to the garden. 

There's also a downstairs WC tucked off the hallway.

Out the back, the garden is surprisingly big and has been properly landscaped rather than just left as blank canvas turf. Large format porcelain-effect paving covers the main patio area, with a raised bark bed beyond and high dark-stained fence panels all around for privacy. 

It's low maintenance by design - which, if you're a first-time buyer juggling everything else that comes with owning a home for the first time, is exactly what you want.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has its own ensuite and a wood slat feature wall that gives it a finish most new-builds don’t even manage in the show home. 

Bedroom two is a comfortable double, and the third is the right size for a nursery, a home office or a child's room. The family bathroom has a full-size bath (no shower, but you could easily fit one). 

The location does its part too. Farington Hall Wood is right at the end of the estate - you can be into nature in minutes.

The town centre is only a twenty-minute walk (or 5 minutes in the car), with Aldi, Morrisons and Leyland station all nearby. 

If your commute involves the motorway, the M6 and M61 are only a few minutes away. And Farington Primary School - rated “Good” by Ofsted - is also a five-minute drive away.

This is the new-build experience with the annoying part already behind you - a modern, low-maintenance home in a popular location with four years of warranty still in the bank.
