Plot 63 (The Gilder) - priced at £454,995

About the Home
Laid out over three levels, The Gilder is a 4-bedroom home that offers an enviable amount of living space, and many coveted features for contemporary family homes. From a flowing, open-plan area on the ground floor to a first-floor living room, and two en-suite bedrooms, this home is well-suited to families with older children and teenagers, or second steppers seeking an abundance of space to enjoy.

The heart of The Gilder is its open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, which runs the length of the ground floor level and has been thoughtfully zoned for practicality. The living space is situated at the rear of the home, and boasts an attractive bay window with French doors opening to the garden – a delightful feature for summer days and evening barbecues with your favourite guests.

Leading off the downstairs living room is the galley kitchen, which is a pleasure to cook in with everything within easy reach. Through the kitchen, the dining area is dedicated to enjoying all kinds of meals together, from relaxed brunches to formal dinners with friends. Two doors from the hallway open into the living area and dining area, enabling members of the household and guests to move around easily, and for areas to be closed off to create a more intimate atmosphere.

The finishing touches to the ground floor of The Gilder are a convenient understairs storage cupboard, and a cloakroom, thoughtfully located by the front door.

On the first floor, the second living room is situated to the rear of the home, and offers a multitude of possibilities. It could become a cosy cinema room for family movie nights, a snug for the teenagers to relax in with friends, or a playroom for younger members of the family. The second cloakroom is a welcome feature on this level when the living room is in use. Bedroom 2, which is double in size and has an en-suite shower room, is also located on this level and offers privacy for older children who are ready for a little more independence.

The second floor presents the remaining three bedrooms, including bedroom 1 which boasts an en-suite shower room, and a useful integral storage cupboard to keep your personal space well-organised. The third and fourth bedrooms, which share use of the family bathroom on this level are both ideally sized for younger children, or one could be utilised as a guest room or peaceful home office.
