This impressive newly built family home combines modern design with classic architectural touches to create a home that is both stylish and practical. Finished to a high specification throughout, it offers bright, spacious accommodation that has been carefully designed for everyday family life while providing the quality and comfort expected from a home of this calibre. Loxford Grove benefits from a range of energy-efficient and smart home features. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property and is powered by an air source heat pump, with both the heating and hot water easily controlled via a smart app. A mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment, while comprehensive data and television wiring has been installed throughout. An electric vehicle charging point further enhances the home's practicality.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an impressive entrance hall featuring a striking oak staircase and high-quality oak flooring, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living, centred around a spacious open-plan kitchen / diner with double doors opening onto the generous rear garden. The bespoke shaker-style kitchen features painted cabinetry with subtle LED lighting, a range of integrated Bosch appliances, and a large central island that doubles as a breakfast bar. Quartz stone worktops incorporate a convenient pop-up power socket with USB charging ports, while ample space for a dining table makes this an ideal room for both everyday living and entertaining.
Leading off the kitchen is a generous utility room with further access to the garden. There is also a versatile reception room, finished with the same oak flooring, which could serve as either a formal dining room or family room. To the rear, the drawing room enjoys double doors opening onto the garden, while a separate study overlooks the front of the property.
Upstairs, the property offers four generous double bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom serves as a wonderful retreat, featuring a dedicated dressing area with built-in wardrobes and an impressive en suite, complete with a double walk-in shower and his-and-hers wash basins. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en suite shower room, making it ideal for guests or older children, while the remaining two double bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
A charming feature of the first floor is the cosy reading nook, tucked neatly into the eaves and illuminated by a Velux window, creating the perfect spot to relax with a book or enjoy some quiet time. There is also access to the loft, which offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
