3 Bedroom Detached House

Built in 2020 and owned by the current owners from new, this three-bedroom semi-detached home in Monkton Heathfield has been really well looked after, with a number of thoughtful additions made along the way.

Inside, the living room is a great size and has been made even more inviting by the addition of a log burner, which sits naturally as the focal point of the room. There is plenty of space for sofas and furniture without the room feeling crowded, while the entrance hall and downstairs WC sit conveniently alongside.

Across the back of the house is the kitchen/dining room, a sociable space which works particularly well with the garden just beyond. The kitchen itself has been enhanced with additional storage cupboards installed by the owners, while there is still ample room for a dining table and chairs. Double doors lead straight out to the garden, something that really comes into its own during the warmer months.

Upstairs, the main bedroom sits at the front of the house and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms to the rear, with the third offering the flexibility to work as a child's room, guest bedroom or home office depending on what's needed. A family bathroom and useful built-in storage complete the first floor.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the features that sets the house apart. South facing and particularly generous for a modern home, there is a real sense of space outside, with plenty of scope for different seating areas, children's play equipment or keen gardeners to make it their own. Its orientation means it enjoys the sun for much of the day, and with the kitchen/dining room opening directly onto it, the inside and outside spaces work really well together.

James loves:
“For me it has to be the garden. You don't always expect to find this much outside space with a house built in 2020, and being south facing makes it even better.”

Owners love:
“We've loved having the garden in the summer and then the log burner in the winter. They make the house feel like a home whatever the time of year.”
