A Future-Forward Flat With Real-World Practicality - And Nearly 770 sq. ft. Of Smartly Designed Space To Enjoy.
For young professionals, couples or anyone wanting to live with less compromise, this apartment offers something different.
Built in 2012 as part of a unique and low-density development, Hartington Place was designed as a modern reimagining of Garden City ideals - homes built around community, green space, and sustainability. This flat sits on the first floor of a block constructed with lightweight timber and hemp insulation, with air source heating powering the underfloor system, solar water heating for the block, trickle-vent windows that circulate air without wasting warmth, and rainwater harvesting that feeds the toilet system.
The result? Lower bills, less impact, and a home that stays comfortable even in winter without relying heavily on heating.
Inside, it feels more like a house than a flat - with 768 sq. ft. to play with and no awkward or wasted corners. The open-plan living space spans over 28 ft. with plenty of room for dining, lounging, cooking and entertaining. Natural light wraps around the angled living space thanks to multiple windows and doors that open out to your private balcony. It's ideal for a morning coffee, winding down with a book or just catching a breath of fresh air between meetings.
The kitchen is sleek, understated, and neatly zoned off - no bumping into cupboard doors when guests come over, and no awkward squeeze past the washing machine. There's enough storage and surface space to make everyday cooking easy, with flexibility to change the layout if your furniture demands it - no radiators thanks to the underfloor system, so more room for what matters.
Two well-sized bedrooms sit at the quieter side of the apartment - both can accommodate a double bed and additional furniture, and Bedroom One also includes fitted wardrobes (which the seller is leaving). The bathroom is clean, tiled, and well-proportioned - no bath crammed under a sloped ceiling or wedged behind a door. A shower over the bath offers an invigorating morning start and long evening soaks.
Outside, you’ve got an allocated parking space and access to a communal bike shed. The whole development feels set apart - less like an estate, more like a small enclave with its own green. It’s just over a mile and a half from the town centre and station - an easy cycle, short drive, or 20–25 min walk depending on your pace.
This isn’t a ‘perfect lifestyle’ flat designed to impress on Instagram. But it is a smart, good-looking home that was built with real intent - one that still holds up a decade later and continues to offer better-than-average space, design, and running costs. If you want something efficient, calm and well put together - come take a look.
