The style of the house, it’s incredibly modern and so different to anything available. The sheer amount of glazing and the zinc cladding on the side and the roof stood out to us. As did the open plan space downstairs and its eco credentials, with its solar panels on the roof. The development in general also appealed as it’s only small too with circa 23 homes on it, so has minimal traffic flowing in it. You can also step out of the door for a walk with the dog and head to the local nature reserve.
