5 bed detached house for sale

Skylark, Blunsdon, Swindon SN26

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac shared with just four other properties, this beautifully presented five-bedroom detached family home, built by the renowned Newland Homes, offers an exceptional blend of contemporary style and practical family living in the heart of Blunsdon village.

From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is evident. A bright and welcoming hallway leads you into the heart of the home – a stunning kitchen/dining/family area that stretches across the rear of the property. Designed for modern living, this elegant space features a central island, integrated appliances, and extensive cabinetry, all finished to a high standard. Pendant lighting and soft, neutral tones add warmth and sophistication.

At the far end, full-height double doors open onto the landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in the sunshine.

The landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed with outdoor enjoyment in mind. A lush green lawn is complemented by a series of patioed seating areas, surrounded by mature planting and bathed in sunlight throughout the day. Practical features such as gated side access and a paved driveway enhance both convenience and security, while the home’s secluded position offers peace and privacy rarely found in modern developments.

Back inside, the property continues to impress. A utility room located just off the kitchen provides a dedicated space for laundry and additional storage, while a cloakroom/WC on the ground floor adds everyday practicality. The original garage has been temporarily converted into a home gym, complete with direct access from the garden – a flexible space that could easily be returned to a full garage if desired.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms cater to families of all sizes. The principal bedroom and bedroom two both feature modern ensuites with double showers, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, offering ample facilities for guests or busy mornings.

Adding further appeal, the property benefits from solar photovoltaic panels, which contribute to energy efficiency and also generate income through a feed-in tariff scheme, providing both environmental and financial benefits to the homeowner.

Please note, there is a management charge payable by all homeowners on this development of approx. £300 per annum.
