Swap the city pace for the restorative bliss of rurality at The Farmstead, an exclusive development of homes with a difference, wrapped up in protected greenbelt land on the cusp of Burton Joyce. A redevelopment of a former dairy farm and outbuildings, special approval was granted for The Farmstead, a 16-home countryside enclave, to be thus titled. Nestled up a private road, winding up from the bottom of Glebe Drive, The Farmstead is a safe and secure community. Peaceful and quiet, the only passing cars are residents or visitors, there is no through-traffic. Safe and secure, the elevated plot is enclosed by a six-foot fence and banking, rewarding these picturesque properties with idyllic views over the valley. Wake up to the dawn chorus as the sun rises above the neighbouring woodland; your quiet neighbours consist of deer tracking across the fields at dusk. Surrounded by greenbelt land, there are no public footpaths, meaning nothing to disturb the tranquility, except for the reassuringly rural hum of the occasional tractor. Hillcrest is a spacious and well-designed home set over two storeys. The ground floor lends itself to family living, featuring an open-plan kitchen/diner and additional multifunctional space. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, including the luxurious master suite with sublime views over the Trent Valley. Prestigious homes in keeping with their surroundings, each home at The Farmstead epitomises natural beauty. Built with character and individual style, warmth and comfort preside over modern minimalism to offer modern living with rural charm. Each uniquely designed home affords ample parking along the driveway, with provision for an electric vehicle charging point in the private garage, also served by power and lighting. Glass Crittall doors flood entrance hallways with light, providing tantalising previews through to open-plan kitchen-dining-family rooms overlooking the garden. Each home sits in total harmony with its plot, making the most of verdant views with floor to ceiling French doors, creating a seamless flow with the outdoors. Distinguishing The Farmstead from other new build developments is not only its sublime greenbelt setting, but also the superior build quality and interiors. Underfloor heating exudes warmth throughout the ground floor of each home, whilst chrome sockets, switches, television and USB points feature in every room. Feature wall lights in the lounge add classic comfort (with multi-fuel stove installation available by upgrade). For those working from home, BT points to the study offer ultra-fast broadband. Superior craftsmanship is another distinguishing feature of The Farmstead homes, with oak staircases, iron rails and glass balustrades. Cook up a feast for family and friends in the bespoke kitchens, furnished in handmade cabinetry by Charles Yorke. With stunning quartz worktops as standard, each home comes with the option to select whatever built-in appliances your heart desires – from the latest high-tech coffee machine to all the culinary gadgets and appliances needed to ensure easy living - every brand imaginable is available. Prefer to leave it to the developer to choose? As standard, high-class appliances from Bosch or Siemens ensure a fine calibre of finish. Tiled throughout the downstairs and bathrooms, with plush carpet to the bedrooms on the upper floors and stairs, feel free to add your own personalisation, from freestanding baths at the ends of beds to oak flooring: sometimes the perfect home begins with owning the journey. With an eye for detail, and excellence as our benchmark, the creative builds on The Farmstead have been visualised and brought to life by Ben Atkin from BMA Homes. A selective developer, Ben only works on unique, one-off projects, specialising in countryside renovations and new builds. Designing and building our own home is the ultimate dream for most of us, and at The Farmstead, you can experience that autonomy by adding your own personalised touches to your home – from detailed brickwork to bespoke kitchen and bathroom features and beyond. Homeowners can choose to convert garages to gyms or annexes. Maximise the space by adding a room above the garage for use as a home office that doubles as a self-contained living space. At The Farmstead, we take the concept of multifunctional space to another level. Adaptability is at the heart of these homes, with many homes having 4-5 bedrooms, which can easily be repurposed for smaller families to incorporate dressing rooms and full bedroom suites. When you buy a home at The Farmstead, you really are buying a home; not bricks and mortar. Our itemised list of included features goes above and beyond those of the average developer, including patios, turf and high-quality carpet. So, whether you choose to personalise and put your own stamp on your home, rest assured that our ‘standard’ package is so much more than average and includes all you need for a turnkey ready home of distinction. Even the gardens are open to your personalisation, with a substantially sized, fully secure area with space for lawn and terracing built up by railway sleepers. Open estate fencing to the rear maximises the serene countryside views. From the addition of trampoline pits, ponds and fountains, or built-in seating, create the garden of your dreams to ensure your home at The Farmstead is as idyllic outdoors as it is within. At the pinnacle of our development are The Farmstead’s premium homes, with backdrops to the woodland and valley and incredible views, particularly from upper levels. Each home takes its name from the farmland and surrounding area, including The Paddocks, Fox Covert and Riverdale… A development with a difference, Tania and Frank are at the heart of The Farmstead, farming the neighbouring land and championing the idyllic location and luxurious lifestyle these homes offer. Neighbours, not simply developers, Tania and Frank have a personal connection to each and every home at The Farmstead. Taking pride in the development, each member of the team involved in this development is passionate about creating a unique and community feel at The Farmstead. Your unique home buying experience begins as soon as you confirm your reservation for your new home at The Farmstead. An appointment will be made at your convenience for a first stage interior consultation with our partner Cooks & Company at their 20,000 sq. ft showroom based in Newark, Nottinghamshire. With a dedicated kitchen and interiors showroom, and a separate appliance showroom showcasing over 40 brands, family run Cooks & Company, with a passion for personal service, represents just one aspect of the bespoke journey when purchasing a home at The Farmstead. Nestled in an inspirational greenbelt location, surrounded by lush woodland, rolling, sheep-grazed fields and with breath-taking views out over the River Trent, The Farmstead sits on the cusp of the thriving village of Burton Joyce. Walk along the River Trent and call in for a thirst-quencher and some hearty food at local pub The Nelson. Formerly a farming community, Burton Joyce blends rural bliss with community comforts and conveniences. Only six miles from Nottingham and with fabulous commuter links via road and rail (Newark Northgate Station is only 30 minutes away, with links to Kings Cross Station in an hour and 15 minutes) – it is easy to see why this friendly village is one of the most highly desirable locations in the country.
