Fancy Skipping The Bit Where You Spend Your First Year Turning A New Build Into A Home? Someone's already done the hard work here, just 3 mins from the A1 and 10 to Morpeth. The garden’s landscaped, the decorating’s done and there’s no chain holding you back.

Most new build starter homes are actually starting-from-scratch homes. You move in and spend your first twelve months picking paint colours and turning a patch of mud into something resembling a garden. Here, that’s already sorted.

This three bedroom semi-detached on Fennel Way was built by Persimmon Homes in 2021, and the current owners have taken it well beyond the standard new-build finish. Instead of the usual builder's magnolia, you'll find proper stylish choices throughout, giving the place a homely, contemporary feel from the moment you walk in.

Out back, the garden's been landscaped with a seating area, a lawn and planted borders, plus a shed for anything you'd rather keep out of the way. There's side access too, so your bikes and bins don't need to come through the house.

Inside, the ground floor is simple and straightforward, with a lounge at the front and a kitchen-diner at the back, French doors opening straight onto the garden for the warmer months. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (one with an ensuite) and a family bathroom.

There are two parking spaces to the front.

Getting around couldn't be easier. You're on the A1 in around three minutes, with Newcastle well within commuting reach, and Morpeth itself is just ten minutes away for everyday shopping, cafés and the station (with direct trains not only to Newcastle but Edinburgh and London).

Come the weekend, the Northumberland coast and the National Park are both an easy drive, whichever direction you fancy heading.

With no upper chain, there's nothing standing between you and moving in - this makes a difference if you’re living at home or renting.

If you want all the benefits of an energy-efficient and stylish new build without the new-build workload, this one's already done the hard part for you.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
