Property description

A newly built four bedroom link detached property completed to a high specification with a double width car port and driveway parking, occupying a private corner position in a courtyard development.

The property has approximately 2,058 sq. ft. of accommodation including an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, and a porcelain tiled floor with underfloor heating which continues throughout the ground floor. An open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room provides a free flowing space for modern family life and entertaining. The guest bedroom has a dressing area and an en suite bathroom, and two further bedrooms share the ground floor family bathroom. The utility room is fitted in a range of units which match the kitchen and has space and plumbing for appliances. The galleried landing provides access to a principal bedroom suite with Velux skylights, and an adjoining bathroom also with a Velux skylight. An independent block paved driveway accesses a double car port with power connected and a sectioned off secure cycle/bin store. The front garden is screened by newly planted evergreen hedgerow and has a lawned area and an exposed porcelain tiled terrace.

Kitchen/Dining/Sitting Room

A particular feature is the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room which measures just under 38 ft. The kitchen is fitted in a range of Shaker style units and a central island by Symphony, all with quartz work surfaces which incorporate a double bowl Blanco sink with a boiling water tap. Integrated Neff appliances include an electric double oven, an induction hob with an extractor over, separate larder fridge and freezer and a dishwasher. In addition to glazed double doors to the garden, natural light is provided by remotely operated skylights.

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, cafes, 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.
