Property description

A newly built five bedroom link detached property completed to a high specification with an oak framed double car port with a secure store, and driveway parking, in a private corner position in a courtyard development.

A solid entrance door with full height glazed windows to the front leads into the L-shaped hallway with porcelain floor tiling and underfloor heating which continues throughout the ground floor apart from the sitting room. The separate dual aspect sitting room has a log burning stove and there is a study overlooking the front drive. The garden room has full height glazed double doors, with wing windows, leading to a tiled terrace in the garden, and a wide aperture leads into the open plan kitchen/dining/family room allowing a free flow through the space for modern family life and entertaining. The utility room is fitted in a matching range of units and has space and plumbing for appliances. The galleried landing has access to the roof space and provides access to the five bedrooms and a four piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a part vaulted ceiling, a dressing area and an en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom suite also has an en suite shower room.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room

A particular feature of the property is the open plan kitchen/dining/family room which measures just under 23 ft. The kitchen will be fitted with Shaker style units and a central island by Symphony, all with quartz worksurfaces. There are integrated Neff appliances and exposed porcelain flooring with underfloor heating. The dining area has full height glazed double doors with wing windows to the garden.

Outside

An extensive block paved driveway provides parking for up to five cars as well as access to the oak framed double carport which includes lighting and a secure workshop/garden store with power connected. The south facing landscaped rear garden is accessible from the front garden via a gate and a porcelain tiled path which continues to the rear of the house and extends into a porcelain tiled outdoor entertaining area. It is principally lawned and is fully enclosed by close boarded fencing with hedged borders.

Situation and Schooling

The property is situated on the edge of the hamlet of Covington, surrounded by Cambridgeshire countryside and is 8 miles from the Three Shires Way. It is also 4 miles away from the market town of Kimbolton which has boutique shops, cafés, pubs, a supermarket, chemist, and essential services, as well as Kimbolton School, one of Cambridgeshire’s leading private schools. Commuters benefit from excellent transport links including the upgraded A14 to the A1, M1/M6, and M11, and mainline trains from Huntington (17 miles, 55 mins to King's Cross).

Why Buy New

1. Lower energy costs New-build properties are designed to be energy efficient, with modern insulation, windows, heating systems and appliances. This can help reduce energy consumption and monthly utility bills compared with many older properties. 2. Minimal maintenance and renovation costs Because everything in a new-build property is new, there is usually less need for immediate repairs, renovations or replacements. This means buyers can move in without having to spend significant amounts of money upgrading kitchens, bathrooms, windows, heating systems or other parts of the property. 3. Warranty and protection against defects New-build properties typically come with a warranty that provides protection against certain construction defects and structural issues. This gives buyers additional reassurance that if significant problems arise, they may have access to support or remedial work during the warranty period. 4. Modern layout/specification New-build homes are designed to meet modern lifestyles, often offering practical layouts, contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, better storage, modern technology and improved energy efficiency. Buyers may also have the opportunity to choose certain finishes and upgrades depending on the stage of construction. 5. Greater certainty over the first few years of ownership Buying a new-build can provide greater financial certainty because the property is unlikely to require major repairs or refurbishment immediately after purchase. This allows homeowners to budget more easily and enjoy their new home without the unexpected costs that can sometimes come with an older property.
