Description

BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional newly constructed five-bedroom detached family home, boasting generous proportions, high-specification finishes, and a thoughtfully designed layout. This impressive residence occupies a unique edge-of-development position, offering a tranquil setting with delightful views over adjacent woodland and a balancing pond, creating a sense of peace and privacy rarely found in modern developments. The gross internal area is a staggering 2,300sq.ft.

Interior - The property opens into a spacious reception hall, setting the tone for the quality and space that flows throughout the home. A useful cloakroom/WC is located off the hallway. Double doors lead into a stunning L-shaped open-plan kitchen/diner, a real showstopper, measuring an impressive 23' x 22' (7.2m x 6.7m) — perfect for modern family living and entertaining, including a log burning stove. The kitchen boasts a central island, high-quality fitted cabinets, and stylish quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, extractor fan, double oven, dishwasher, and full-height fridge and freezer. This bright and airy space benefits from dual-aspect windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent is a practical utility room providing access to the rear garden and integral double garage. To the front, a fabulous dual-aspect sitting room provides a peaceful retreat, enjoying French doors to the garden and flooding the space with natural light.
On the first floor, a spacious galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is a true sanctuary, featuring both a window and skylight with a serene outlook, extensive walk-in wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite, making it ideal for guests or older children. The remaining three bedrooms are all generously sized and served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Exterior - The property enjoys a beautifully landscaped plot with a south-westerly aspect rear garden, making the most of its corner position with uninterrupted views across mature woodland and the balancing pond. A large paved patio, raised borders, and a cosy decked seating area provide ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining. A spacious driveway with additional side parking provides ample off-road parking in addition to the integral double garage.

Why You'll Love It - This exceptional home not only offers space and flexibility for a growing family, but also occupies one of the finest plots within the development — a rare find that combines new-build convenience with countryside-inspired surroundings.

Locality - Kirk Langley is a charming and sought-after Derbyshire village located just a short drive west of Derby city centre. Surrounded by open countryside, the village offers a peaceful rural lifestyle while maintaining excellent connectivity via the nearby A52, making it ideal for commuters heading to Derby, Ashbourne, or further afield.
