Description
A modern three bedroom detached property with driveway parking and an enclosed rear garden on a private estate of 50 houses set in a cul-de-sac backing onto the recently opened Clophill Lakes Nature Reserve,. The property was built in 2023 by Hayfield Homes to a high specification with a focus on energy efficiency including underfloor heating to the ground floor powered by an air source heat pump. The 1,249 sq. ft. of accommodation includes an entrance hall with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. Double doors lead into a sitting room with a bay window and there is also an open plan kitchen/dining/family room which is the hub of the house. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms, and the principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is fitted with Roca sanitaryware.
The front garden has lawns and a path to the entrance door. The driveway is at the side of the property and provides parking for up to three cars and access to the garage which has been part converted into a home office which is accessed from the rear garden. There is an EV charging point.
