About this property
Two double bedroom semi-detached home, built by Bloor Homes in 2022 to the Dekker design
Landscaped rear garden with a generous paved patio, lawn, planted borders and a second seating area
Kitchen/dining room with French doors opening directly onto the patio
Fitted kitchen with integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, plus a gas hob and electric oven
Separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom
Front-facing living room with a shuttered window and useful under-stairs storage
Principal double bedroom overlooking the garden, with an en suite shower room
Full-width second double bedroom with two shuttered windows, built-in storage and a desk recess
Separate family bathroom with a bath and a frosted side window
Side driveway with off-road parking for two cars
The front living room has a shuttered window, space for a corner sofa and a handy under-stairs cupboard. At the back, the kitchen/dining room is where you can picture opening the French doors on a summer evening and taking dinner straight out to the patio. The kitchen has under-cabinet lighting, a gas hob, an electric oven and an integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. There’s space for a dining table or a freestanding island, as shown in the photographs, and the separate utility room keeps the laundry out of the kitchen.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom overlooks the garden and has its own en suite shower room. The second bedroom is the larger of the two and spans the full width of the house, with two shuttered windows, a built-in cupboard and a recess that’s currently set up as a home office. We’ve seen this room divided into a double bedroom and a separate study in other homes of the same design, so there’s scope to explore a similar layout here. A separate family bathroom completes the first floor.
The landscaped rear garden has a generous paved patio just outside the French doors, with room for a table and outdoor sofas. A lawn and planted borders lead to a second seating area, giving you another spot to sit with a coffee. The side driveway provides off-road parking for two cars.
One of the things I like most about the Dekker is the flexibility of the generous front double bedroom. I’ve seen this room divided into a double bedroom and a separate study in other homes of the same design, and a viewing is the best way to see how that might work here. It’s also a chance to appreciate how well the kitchen and garden work together, with the French doors opening straight onto the patio.
