What £1,400,000 Buys You 40 Minutes from Central London

If you want to live just 40 minutes from central London but still come home to a five-bedroom family home in the countryside, this £1.4 million property might appeal to you. It's a brand new gated development which consists of just three Georgian-style family homes, two in brick and one rendered. Each property is just under 3,000 square feet, so comparing to a central London apartment which is normally under 1,000 square feet, you're effectively getting three times the space. Now out here it feels very private, you've got private parking, there's EV chargers, gated access and the CCTV, but it's a very cold day here today, so let's head on inside and check it out. Welcome inside, this is such a beautiful entrance hallway and definitely sets the tone for what's about to come. Now just so you can get your bearings, we have a study on my right, on my left here is some handy storage options and then continuing through the very spacious entrance hall, on my right there we have a downstairs toilet. The open plan areas are straight ahead of me and this home actually features one of my favourite things I've ever seen in a new build so far, so I'm excited to show you that later on, but for now let's have a look at the kitchen. This does not feel like your typical new build does it, I mean this kitchen is beautiful. I spoke to the developers earlier, Shane and Martina from Harple Homes and this is their first ever development. I mean they've done a pretty amazing job from what I can see so far, they've definitely gone above and beyond on specifications too. So just here we have your Bora induction hob, makes this island even more sociable, you can imagine if you've got guests over you can be chatting to them while you're cooking their dinner and also great for family life. So this will be your social hub, you're probably going to spend a lot of time around this island, whether it's your kids doing homework or just a easy breakfast in the morning. They've gone for these stone worktops which look beautiful but also very practical, there is so much worktop space in this kitchen. All of this side here on my right, on my left more space where the sink is and also of course you have some prep space on the island too. But if that wasn't enough space, they've also added a very handy utility room which is finished to the same standard as the kitchen and you can also do your laundry bits in there and keep everything messy out of the way. I mentioned the developers went all out on the specifications and just here they've got the Bosch integrated appliances. So this is your oven and microwave, also love how these are just at the perfect height making everyday life so much easier. Now also you know by now here at the Newboard Show we love to look at the storage options because it's super important in the kitchen that you have that. So let's have a little explore, lots of storage options just down here, I mean this whole area is basically storage. So up here you could put your glasses, your mugs and then we also have more storage options down here and Martina has actually baked us some lovely cakes which I can't wait to try later on. Over here you have your fridge and freezer which is again by Bosch and then even more handy storage options just here so they really fitted in wherever they could. There's also so much storage space on this side of the kitchen too, so just here you have your integrated dishwasher. Space here under the sink as well that would be great for your cleaning supplies and then also the cupboards are pretty deep so you can have your pans all things like that in there and I also really love the contrast of the two different colours we've got going on. So we've got grey on this side and then this really nice deep blue which you'll see a lot more blue throughout this tour. This is actually referred to as the blue house so quite bold but really really nice. Now this is exactly what we love to do here at The New Build Show, have an explore and see what different developers go for, the specifications and the layouts and we share them all with you guys. So if you do have a development that you'd like more people to know about get in touch with us on hello at thenewbuildshow.com. You'll also notice behind me there is some bi-fold doors and I'm excited to see the garden so follow me and let's check it out. New Build Gardens are something that attracts quite a lot of comment on our YouTube episodes and I'm intrigued to see what you all think of this one. I don't think it's too bad of a size, I mean considering we're just 40 minutes away from central London it's pretty decent. Feels really private out here too thanks to those trees that you've got and it's also been really nicely landscaped so you've got your grass area, also patio on this section and also a seating area. It's probably not the best time to be showcasing an outdoor seating area however just so you can get the idea, imagine this in the summer months with a nice glass of wine out here. However this house gets even better at the but it's pretty chilly so let's head on in back inside. Okay back inside now let's have a look at the dining area. Now this is a beautiful dining table, the interior staging was done by Oliver Miller and he's done a really great job. Love the green chairs in here which just bring in that bit of greenery that you can see on the outside from the trees. Now I haven't mentioned yet on the flooring they've gone for these really large stone tiles and these were actually imported from Spain and it is under preheated throughout the entire ground and first floor which is really nice in the winter time. But another thing they've added is air conditioning which is super rare for a UK home. But I want to show you my favourite feature of this home, I mean look at this for a bay window. I think the thing that strikes me the most is that this is actually one piece of glass, there's no breaks in the window and you can imagine how much more time and thought that takes. They actually had to get a separate piece of machinery to even place the glass here but for me I think it's so worth it because it makes the space feel so much more premium. Something I'd not heard of before is having a paint colour consultation which is exactly what the developers did here. They had Faro and Ball come in and they went through every room and told them which paint colours would look good where. So in here they've been able to go for a darker grey because there's so much natural light coming in so you'll notice in every room how well they all work. So let us know in the Just off the kitchen you have this more cosy and intimate lounge space and I actually really like how you've got those doors there so if you do want to separate from the rest of the family and curl up in here you can do that. Now in here it feels very calming, they've gone for really nice earthy tones and it just feels very peaceful and a place that you'd want to come and relax, maybe put a bit of tv on or read your favourite book. There's also still some really beautiful natural light coming in here and I did mention how well they've done with the paint colours. Now this is Faro and Ball's Elephant's Breath, one of my favourites and works so well with the earthy tones. Back into the entrance hallway now there is a downstairs toilet as I mentioned just there on my left, beautifully designed and I can't wait to show you the rest of the bathrooms upstairs too. There is also a very handy storage cupboard there too. Now I can't wait to show you the study so follow me and let's check it out. Now this office space I love, this isn't just a last minute thought where they've popped a desk in a room, this has been properly thought out and what a great size it is. Now one thing I haven't really touched on which I was super impressed by is the build quality of this home. I mean standing here now you can just feel how premium it feels, even the skirting, the architraves are all properly done and the doors are really sturdy and heavy. They were actually imported from Ireland and speaking of Ireland you may have noticed this painting behind me. Now the developer Shane grew up in Ireland and just behind here on this painting you'll be able to see Harple Mountain which was actually painted by Shane's father Sean and is why he named the company Harple Homes and has popped the painting in here for whoever is going to live here which I think is a very nice touch. Okay that's the ground floor done so let's go and have a look upstairs. Welcome upstairs, as you can see we have switched to carpet now which feels very cosy. Now so you can get a better understanding of where everything is up here we have got a bathroom in front of me, children's room, another bedroom there and then two more bedrooms either side plus a very extra special room upstairs which we'll show you later on but I mean how incredible is it up here, so spacious and I love that pendant lighting there. First of all into the children's bedroom which is very cute and also a pretty decent size so when your child does grow up this could easily fit a double bed. Now we have lovely natural light coming in through the windows in here and another thing I've noticed which is actually so handy and something that some developers don't think of we even have USB sockets just down there as well just making life that little bit easier. Just next door is the family bathroom and these have all been done by Bathrooms by Design and they've been done to such a high standard so in here you have your sink, lots of handy storage options and then we also have some storage behind the mirror here as well. I absolutely love the gold fixtures and fittings makes it feel really luxurious and also you have a very spacious bath. I did mention downstairs this can sometimes be referred to as the blue house out of the three houses on this development so they've tied that in really nicely here in the bathroom by adding some blue tiles. Welcome in to the principal bedroom there is actually two bedrooms in this property that could be classed as the principal but this one is personally my favourite. One of my favourite features is this integrated storage it's kind of like a walk-in wardrobe that they've added here and it all lights up when you walk in and looks beautiful. It also feels very calm they've gone again for the earthier tones in here feels very neutral. After speaking to the stager earlier he actually said his intention with this was not to make it too masculine not too feminine just that perfect in between which I think he's done really well because if you were a man or a woman coming to view this property I'm sure you'd both really like it. Now the ceiling heights in here are great which makes it feel even more expansive but just in front of me is my favourite part of this room. We have yet another incredible bay window and because this is a Georgian style build this just works so well it feels very symmetrical very clean but also brings in so much natural light. Here is your principal ensuite which is stunning and again been done to such a great standard. So in here you have your basin you have a walk-in shower which is a really great size and I love how they've even got a little bit of storage actually integrated in the wall again just making it look really sleek. Then we also have some very handy storage behind the mirrors as well which you don't see very often and also storage just under here. Okay so on this side of the house there are two more guest bedrooms so let me show you them. Both bedrooms on this side of the house are pretty similar in size but this one actually features some very nice storage which lights up as well when you open it which I love and these actually go back pretty far I mean there's definitely quite a lot that you could get in there. And then we also have in here some lovely natural light coming in again look at the size of those windows they are incredible lovely big double bed and it also feels a little bit more earthy in here and maybe slightly more feminine with some of the pastel tones. And here is guest bedroom number two as I mentioned pretty similar in size with some lovely natural light coming in. As usual I have saved the best till last so follow me to the top floor. Welcome to your loft level suite. I know I referenced the bedroom on the floor below as the principal suite but being up here and looking around this would also make a really great main bedroom. It's an amazing size and there's actually so much you could do with this space. I have been having a little think imagine this up here as a games room you have a pool table you've got a bar this is where all of your friends gather together on the weekend up here that would be pretty cool or alternatively this would also make a pretty good home gym but let me know what you do with the space in the comments below. There is also an en suite up here so let me show you. Again in here it's absolutely beautiful I mentioned that the bathrooms were going to just keep getting better and better these developers really have not missed anything. We have in here this beautiful bathtub and again those gold accents coming in which looks so nice and then behind me we have a mirror you've got your sink you've also got a really really spacious walk-in shower as well. Leaving the en suite now I have to point out how cute this little bench seat is that they've added. I just thought this would be the best place to have a morning coffee or read a nice book. Now looking outside it is about to get dark and I'm really excited to show you what this home looks like in the evening time so let me show you. It's starting to get dark now but I really wanted to show you how amazing these properties look in the evening time. The developer opted for an imperial style brick which is far less common more expensive and really adds to that traditional feel. It feels like its own secluded street down here. Now if you would like any more information on any of these properties you can get in touch with Harple Homes all of the information will be in the description box below and I mean if this is their first development I cannot wait to see what they do next.
