-[about your new home]-
A wonderful first impression awaits you with your new home on Leighton Drive.
It's modern, clean cut and gives you a great insight into what awaits inside. There's a compact paved patio at the doorstep giving you the ability to add your personal touch with potted plants or outdoor ornaments. To the immediate side of the property is your driveway, ensuring convenient off-road parking with direct access to the rear garden.
Stepping inside, the ground floor offers plenty of space as an ideal home. The entrance hallway harmoniously brings the rooms on this level together, with the immediate convenience of a ground-floor W/C tucked off to the right as you enter. The understairs storage cupboard is perfect for your shoes, coats, bags and any bulkier cleaning appliances; helping to keep your entry space clutter-free and making arriving home each day a soothing experience.
Off to your left you'll find your kitchen. It's not oversized, but it's well planned, with a long run of units that maximises storage and prep space without narrowing the room. White cabinetry keeps the look crisp and reflective, helping the space feel bright even on duller days, while the darker worktops add contrast and practicality. Everything feels within reach here: The sink, gas hob and oven, and appliances are arranged sensibly, making day-to-day cooking feel efficient and easy.
There's also space for a cosy dining table, ensuring this is more than just a place to cook. Morning coffees, informal meals, or a quiet catch-up at the end of the day all feel easy to imagine here.
Moving through toward the rear, the living room opens up into a noticeably generous space. The dimensions here work well for you to have multiple seating arrangements without the room feeling overfilled. It has a pleasant, relaxed and calm tone allowing you to wind down in the evening with a good book or TV binge, whilst still being able to properly utilise it for family and friend gatherings.
The French doors at the far end draw your eye straight out to the garden and bring in plenty of light, helping the room feel open without losing its sense of enclosure. When closed, the room feels snug and settled. When open, it extends naturally into the outdoor space, making it easy to use the garden as part of the living area in warmer months.
Stepping out into the rear garden, you're met with a space that feels refreshingly straightforward. There's no sense of being hemmed in or overlooked. Instead, you have a clearly defined, private outdoor area that's easy to use from day one.
The lawn stretches out in front of you as a single, open expanse, level and practical rather than broken up into sections. Whether it's somewhere for children to play, a place to let a dog roam, or simply to enjoy the outdoors without constant upkeep, it works without asking much in return.
Closer to the house, the paved area gives you an immediate spot to pause. It's close enough to the kitchen and living space to make popping in and out feel natural, ideal for outdoor meals, or keeping an eye on the garden without feeling detached from it.
What you're left with is a garden that feels honest and flexible. It gives you space, privacy, and the freedom to shape it over time, whether that means leaving it as it is or slowly making it your own.
Heading back inside and upstairs, the tone shifts gently from social to personal. This is the part of the house that feels quieter, more private, and very much geared towards day-to-day comfort.
The main bedroom is at the rear of the home, giving you the flexibility to arrange it so mornings feel unhurried. There's room for your bed to sit comfortably with space to move on either side, and the soft, neutral palette helps the room feel restful rather than busy. Light filters in through the window without feeling overlooked. This room has the added benefit of an en-suite shower room, quietly making a big difference to everyday living.
The family bathroom itself serves the floor confidently. Finished in darker tiling with a clean, modern feel, it offers a bath that suits both quick weekday routines and slower evenings when you want to unwind. Everything feels well laid out and practical, with no sense of squeezing things in for the sake of it. Natural light and simple finishes keep it feeling fresh and easy to maintain.
The second bedroom is located adjacent at the front of the home. It's a great size with plenty of versatility, whether you picture this as a child's room, a guest space, or somewhere to work from home, the proportions support it without compromise. Natural light keeps it feeling bright and welcoming, and the layout avoids awkward corners or lost space. It is the sort of room that can change purpose easily as your needs evolve.
The third bedroom, more compact in scale, still holds its own. This is a space that works well as a dedicated office, dressing room, or single bedroom. If you work from home, this feels like somewhere you could shut the door and focus, without encroaching on the main living areas downstairs.
