Description

The Property
4 Crab Apple Drive offers everything a family wants, whether a large family needing room to spread out or a smaller one looking for space to expand. The owners bought the property brand new and it’s always been very much a family home for them – not only shelter but a sanctuary. They’ve taken excellent care of it too, maintaining, updating and decorating to high standards. It really is a beautiful home, readymade for new residents.

Built by Linden Homes in 2017, there’s everything you’d expect at a modern property, plus elements you don’t always get with a newbuild: open-plan space to entertain, a separate room to unwind, bedrooms the kids won’t outgrow, and those ‘extra’ rooms you can’t forgo once you’ve had them, such as a utility and an en suite.

The open-plan space is particularly appealing. The kitchen is light and stylish, fitted with wood-effect storage and surfacing. There’s room to fit an island or a peninsula, without compromising on dining space. Integrated appliances include a Zanussi hob and double oven and a Hotpoint dishwasher. The adjacent utility has gaps for further appliances, another Blanco sink, and leads to the cloakroom. An understairs pantry cupboard in the kitchen is handy for hiding away the hoover.

Having a proper dining area is a real advantage for a family. Think kids doing homework while you sort them a snack and ask about their day. Eating dinner together at the table instead of on the sofa in front of the telly. Taking the time for a lazy breakfast before the chaos of getting ready for school or sports practice begins. Having the ability to host is great too, especially in summer when you can throw the double doors open, family and friends flowing between indoors and out.

Separate from activity in the open-plan space is the lounge. This is a large, lovely room, bright from the bay window at the front and with warmth and cosiness from the log burner. The bioethanol log burner sits in a media wall, also featuring a TV recess (the owners have made sure you can reach wires easily via a hatch at the side).

As for the bedrooms, all four are double. The principal is particularly generous, with the option to create a dressing area if you like (there’s already a bank of built-in wardrobes to one side). Both the en suite shower room and the family bathroom are immaculate, fitted with contemporary white suites, chrome details and textured tiling.

The Plot
The outside at 4 Crab Apple Drive is just as beautiful as inside. The garden is an oasis, well-designed and lush with planting – including a crab apple tree, of course. The owners have spent lots of time and energy creating such a fantastic outdoor environment, including laying a large patio at the end (in addition to the patio across the back of the house), installing a covered enclosure (providing a shaded seating area or the perfect spot for a hot tub) and making an allotment area (currently with carrots, corn and a selection of herbs).

To the front of the plot is a tandem driveway leading to the garage. The garage can be conveniently accessed from inside the house, via the entrance hall, and there’s a gate from the driveway through to the garden.

The Position
Crab Apple Drive is part of the Gardenfield estate, with no.4 tucked quietly at the end of the cul de sac. The location couldn’t be better for popping into town quickly, dropping the kids off at school easily, and getting outside in nature immediately.

A footpath into Higham Ferrers Riverside Park is less than 200m from the front door, and nature reserves and the River Nene are just over the bridge from there. There’s even more to discover locally at Irchester Country Park, Stanwick Lakes and in the vast Northamptonshire countryside.

Higham centre is a 10-minute walk from the address. Here you’ll find everything from Happy Mondays coffee shop, Willow & Grey gift shop and Ferrers & Vine wine bar, to healthcare services and sports facilities. Higham has strong community spirit, with residents often coming together for events such as the Christmas Sparkle.

For a wider range of shops, restaurants and entertainment, Rushden Lakes is a 10-minute drive from Crab Apple Drive. Kettering and Northampton town centres are 25 minutes away, Milton Keynes city centre is 45 minutes away, and trains from Wellingborough station (15 minutes away) reach London St Pancras in as little as 44 minutes.
