Inside a £275,000 New Build Home in the UK

Set within the beautiful scenery of the Peak District, Buxton is a historic spa town surrounded by dramatic countryside. Known for its natural spring water and elegant Victorian and Georgian architecture, Buxton has been attracting visitors for centuries. It offers a glimpse of England as it once was. Calm, characterful and surrounded by rolling hills. And today we're here to see this three bedroom house by Spirit Homes priced at £275,000. For a brand new house in England, that is exceptional value. Buxton is only a 10 minute drive away, but if you did want the taste of city living, then Manchester, Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield are about an hour and a half away. So you get the best of both worlds, countryside living and those city connections. Right out here, you've got space for parking and EV charging points. And as you can see, they've gone with this lovely, natural light coloured stone that fits in with the surrounding homes. But the most important thing is how it feels inside. It's freezing out here, so let's go and take a look. Is much better. Oh my goodness me. Hey, when you come back mid February, this is the welcome home that you want. Right. I'll tell you a little bit about the property while I am de-robing. This area, this is what you want somewhere to just take your scarf, your bags, your hats off and just get ready before you go home. In fact, this is what I don't have in my flat. You know, I can't be the only person that you get in. You're straight into your home and there's nowhere to put things and you end up just putting on a chair. It's like a dumping ground. This is what you need. And in terms of layout, you can't add this back onto a house. So thank you, Spirit Homes, for sorting us out with this. Do you know what, though? I could do this. This is a very clever little design hack. It's a wall just with little knobs on. I think I need to bring this into my own, my own way of living. And speaking of living, this is our living room. And for a three bedroom new property, this is a big size. Yeah, you've got space for two separate sofas, which I'm definitely going to use. Oh, it's been a hard, cold morning outside. This is really lovely. We've got rugs, lots of cushions and soft furnishings. I mean, it is the hygge factor here. OK, so hygge is the Danish concept of everything feeling cozy and comfy. I mean, they understood the assignment and they delivered. Oh, yeah. Love this green color as well. This is such a good color, especially for something like a show home, where it's adding some character and warmth. But it's also very neutral as well. Who doesn't love a sage green? They've also gone with half paneling and then on the top, this sort of textured wallpaper and a little design tip. If you do want to make a room feel bigger than it is, half paneling opens the room up. So there you go. On the floor, we've got luxury vinyl tiling in this herringbone pattern that carries on through to the open planet kitchen and dining room. Now let's talk options. OK, they've gone with this lovely tile. I really like this. But if you didn't, you could also have a marble effect one, a wood effect one. This is what Spirit Homes does really, really well when they're designing these homes. They give you the option, loads of different options of colors, of materials. So, for instance, here we are in the kitchen. This is a Howden's kitchen. You get a choice of three different ranges. And then within that, loads of different color options. Like I said, you can upgrade to quartz worktops, for instance. But it's not an overwhelming amount of choice. I'm not good with too many options. It's like, but it's enough to, you know, you set them out. I mean, I really like this, actually. Let's let's look at the kitchen. This is a beautiful dark color. I wouldn't normally go for something actually quite as dark, but I think it works, especially when you're contrasting it with that beautiful sage color. Now, this is a really sleek design in here. It's nice and modern, but it's timeless. There's the difference. It's not traditional classic, but this isn't going out of style. You know, it's not like following some crazy new trend that you look back at in 10 years and go, what was I thinking? What was I thinking? Like this is this is going to stay and it's really sleek as well. That is I mean, that feels very tactile. And in here we've got your fridge and your freezer. Loads of space. I mean, look at the size of this. And I also really like the layout. You've got your sink here perfectly placed to enjoy those beautiful views. And then you do have room for a dishwasher as well. Don't worry. And your washing machine, lots of storage, nice soft closes. Oh, beautiful wooden side as well. That's really nice. And then this all comes included your extractor fan, your hob and your oven. And if you wanted, this is what I do where I live. I actually sort of use these top spaces as well. You know, if it's further enough back, I'm short as well. I can't see. That's fine. And then these are really deep as well. These worktops, so plenty of space, whether you're preparing food, entertaining, maybe you're baking with the kids. Now, something else you might want to think about lighting. Now we've got spotlights here that comes as standard, but there's a mood lighting setting the scene for dinner. It's one of these beautiful light fixtures. Now, if you do like all of the furnishings that you see, whether it's the table, the chairs, the light fixtures, the rugs, and you wanted a proper turnkey property, all of this could be included under separate negotiation, of course, and you could move right in and then you could be hosting immediately. Maybe getting your friends and family a big celebration. Pop the old bottle of champagne. You've got room for five people, but I think six. Six, definitely. I mean, honestly, to have a full sized dining table and chairs in your kitchen, it's a good size just to give you a bit of a scale. And then when the weather is warmer than it is today, you could fling open your French doors here that lead out onto your garden. And then look at those views, the rolling hills of the Peak District. Such a nice area and lots to do. So if you are outdoorsy or if you want to get the kids off the Xbox, there's cycling, there's beautiful walks, there's nature parks, wildlife parks, not to mention, obviously, Buxton, which is such a beautiful town and a cultural hub. You've got the Buxton Festival, the Fringe Festival, so there's always something happening there. Patio, great for those barbecues. And yes, space for them to kick a ball around. Or if you wanted to keep it nice, if you're a gardener, get off of my garden, get off. Now, finishing up the tour on the ground floor, just next door to the kitchen, you have very handy downstairs WC. Good size this is. Lovely earthy tones. How have they made brown work? I mean, it's not brown, it's more like cappuccino, isn't it? All those sort of tones and colours that you'd find outside mirroring the countryside. Very glamorous, actually. Something that isn't so glamorous and it gets a bad rep. Storage. It's not sexy, I agree. I mean, depending. If it's understair storage, that's sexy. OK, it is practical. You need storage. This is what we like. That's a good lot of storage. Rooms, suitcases. I travel a lot, so that'd be really easy access. And then we've got more of that just under here as well. So there you go. OK, it's time to go upstairs and check out the bedrooms. Now, as I mentioned earlier, this is a three bedroom property, so a perfect family home. And Spirit Homes are a family run business, and they have been building homes in the north of England for three generations. I mean, these guys know what they're doing. There's going to be 83 brand new properties on this development, Horsestead Meadows. And I can already see how this community is going to thrive and grow here. Little Jane, little Jimmy, going to grow up here making friends all down the streets. So as you can see, this room has been kitted out as the kids bedroom. Very cute. But it could equally be maybe an office, you know, office, cinema room, maybe a yoga room. It's very, very pretty. And I do want this headboard. I've never seen one like that before. So yeah, I'm stealing that. Back into the hallway. Now, one thing I didn't mention coming up here was the carpet. Love a bit of carpet. You've got to have carpet, I think, in a bedroom. So cozy. I've got two more to explore. I want to know what you think is your favorite style out of the two. I think this one is my favorite, but I'm looking in that one now. I can't decide. So let me know what you think. Yeah, this feels like a hotel. I think this might be my favorite. That sage green has been brought up here. Very soft, natural lighting. Look at this. It's those raw materials are really working for me here. Nice big bed here. A vanity unit. This is great. Let me just test it out. Yeah, lovely stuff. Now, as much as I love this wardrobe. In fact, I actually love this wardrobe. You do have the option to add on inbuilt wardrobes. I would say if you can afford it at the time, go for it. It's a decision you'll not regret. You know, you get so much more extra space. I actually did this with my bed. I paid to have four drawers underneath the bed. That is storage. I'm very glad that I have now. I'm glad I invested. So, yeah, I would be very happy with this room. Although I'm sorry, I need to do one thing every time, every time. It's too many. They're heavy as well. Too many. OK, that's better. That's better. That's how normal people live. There you go. I can do I can do for now before I show you the last bedroom. Don't look. Don't look for you to cast your design votes. I'm going to show you the family bathroom. Come on. This is shared by all of the bedrooms up here. Great size. You've got a bath and a shower. And it comes as standard that this area is tiled, but you could opt to have it all half tiled. But I kind of like it like this. I like this green that carries through onto all of the walls. Now, you might be looking around thinking, where's the storage? Where am I going to put my stuff? Don't worry. They've thought about that as well. Loads of storage just to my left. So your towels, linens, products. I'm a product girl. I'd be taking up a lot of that. Sorry, guys. My needs are more important. Then we've got these beautiful marble effect tiles on the floor as well. Aces. Can I come in? Nice sturdy craftsmanship here. Oh, I don't know. This is nice in here. Whereas the other one felt a bit more like luxury boutique hotel. This one feels a bit more like homely. You know, you've got lots of yummy, soft furnishings and textures, like lots of raw materials as well. Maybe a guest bedroom. And look at that headboard. Very cool. Another design hack as well is painting the ceiling in a darker color and bringing it down like they've done. And then it just makes you feel very cocooned. You know, this feels very, very cozy. I'm giving you guys all the design hacks today. Thank you, Spirit Homes. No, but genuinely, which room in terms of design do you prefer? I still don't know. I'd love to know what you think, though. Yeah, but the only way to really know purely for research is to test it out. That is softer than I was expecting. Good night. What a beautiful home and what is going to be a lovely neighborhood.
