Fabulous Five Bedroom Family Home. If you’re a modern family who always buys the best, this gorgeous 2015 property should be top of your list. It’s at the end of a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac on a popular Persimmon estate where town meets country. Property ref: KD0516

Since being built in 2015, the Brackenleigh development has become popular with families looking for a modern home that combines close-to-town convenience with open fields on your doorstep.

This fantastic five bedroom detached is certainly one of the biggest on the estate - and it may also be one of the best.

It’s been beautifully looked after by the current owners who bought it from new. They’ve made some thoughtful and tasteful improvements, which have made it even better than when it was first built.

When you step into the hall the first thing you’ll notice is the gorgeous high gloss floor tiles which lead the eye into the kitchen / diner at the rear.

The high-spec kitchen / diner will surely become the social hub of the home. 

There’s space to sit and eat together and thanks to the garden room extension, you can relax together after a meal.

If everyone heads to the kitchen to catch up, the superb lounge offers a quiet place to chill out at the end of a busy day. It’s another room that’s been transformed in recent years, with a striking media wall and a fabulous herringbone oak flooring to give a feeling of long lasting quality. 

The layout is practical too, with a handy utility room next to the kitchen and a downstairs w/c.

The garden gets the sun in the afternoon and evening, with a patio seating area and a small lawn for the kids to play on. Upstairs has four generously sized double bedrooms (one with a stylish ensuite shower room), a single bedroom/study and the family bathroom.

The front of the property is low maintenance, with parking on the drive in front of the built-in single garage.

This popular, family friendly estate is right on the edge of town where it meets the countryside.

That means if you like to walk, run or cycle it’s the ideal base to start your workout. Just turn right onto the A595 and you’re off towards the National Park.

It’s a couple of hours in the saddle to Bassenthwaite Lake, so you could join up with friends and make a day of it. Or if you’re not feeling fit it’s just over half an hour in the car. 

But it’s also handy if you want to hit the shops or catch up with friends in town. 

The estate is less than 10 minutes drive to the city centre or around half an hour on the bus, with a bus stop nearby on Wigton Road.

As it’s a family friendly property it’s good to know there’s a choice of good local schools nearby. 

Newlaithes Junior School (rated Good by Ofsted) is closest. It’s less than a 5 minute drive away. 

Richard Rose Academy is even closer, so older kids will only have a short 10 minute walk or a 3 minute bike ride to reach the school.

This is a modern family home which has been very well looked after and tastefully improved by the current owners. 

It’s got a versatile layout with a great combination of social space and room for everyone to go off and do their own thing.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from discerning families who see the value in buying the best. If that sounds like you, call me today to arrange a viewing.
