Impressive Three-Bedroom Detached Home in an Exclusive Ashley Development

An impressive three-bedroom detached home, set within an exclusive development in the heart of Ashley, offering stylish contemporary living with an emphasis on energy efficiency and modern sustainability.

Designed with both comfort and efficiency in mind, this impressive A-rated home benefits from an air-source heat pump, photovoltaic (PV) panels and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system. The MVHR system provides a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air while extracting stale and moisture-laden air, recovering heat in the process to improve energy efficiency, reduce condensation and maintain a comfortable, healthy indoor environment.

A large sliding door opens directly onto the beautifully landscaped south-facing garden, allowing the inside and outside spaces to flow seamlessly together. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a range of stylish wall and base units, complemented by integrated appliances and a separate utility room with useful additional storage and direct access to the garden.

A welcoming sitting room is flooded with natural light, while a conveniently positioned ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation. The hallway also benefits from a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, providing practical additional storage.

Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a stylish en suite. The second bedroom features fitted wardrobes, while all bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. Throughout the property, fitted shutters add a stylish finishing touch, enhancing the character and charm of the home while providing privacy and excellent control of natural light.

Externally, the property enjoys a recently landscaped south-facing garden, providing a private and attractive outdoor retreat. A substantial patio area offers the perfect setting for alfresco dining, while a dedicated pergola seating area creates an ideal spot for relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months.

The property also benefits from ample driveway parking, together with a versatile home office/gym and a useful adjoining storage room, providing excellent flexibility for modern home working, exercise or additional storage requirements.

Combining contemporary design, generous living accommodation and impressive energy-efficient technology, this exceptional home offers a high-quality lifestyle in an exclusive and desirable Ashley setting.
