Feature Development – Oakridge, North Kilworth

For house-hunters around Leicestershire attracted to semi-rural living, Francis Jackson Homes’ Oakridge development, located on the edge of the village of North Kilworth, might well fit the bill.

It’s a boutique development of just 22 houses, a range of three- and four-bedroom options to suit different requirements and budgets, located off Station Road just outside the village and about six miles from Lutterworth, a notable town with a long history, mentioned in the Domesday Book and granted its market charter by King John.

Between them, the village and town provide a wide range of shops, useful services and amenities, sports and leisure facilities, and schools/colleges.

For journeys further afield, both the M1 and M6 are close at hand and it’s only eight miles to Market Harborough, which is not only impressive for its retail and entertainment options, but also for its restored canal basin and its station, which offers frequent services to London, Leicester and Nottingham. Equally well served and connected is Rugby, just a 20-minute drive away.

Buyers will find a range of three- and four-bedrooms available right now at Oakridge. Among them is the semi-detached house type found on Plot 10 and Plot 11. At the front is a living room, and at the rear, with French doors to the garden, is the kitchen/dining room, off which is a utility room with more storage and worktop and its own door to the outside. Off the hallway is a useful cupboard and a cloakroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single, with an ensuite to bedroom one. The first floor is completed with a family bathroom. This house type is priced at £325,000.

Plot 13 is a four-bedroom detached house which could be ideal for a growing family, or those downsizing from an older, high-maintenance property who still want the room but without the worry of costly repairs and replacements. This L-shaped, double-fronted property has an open-plan kitchen/diner with feature island, and a separate living room. Both these rooms have French doors to the garden. Also downstairs are a utility room, cloakroom and understairs storage. Upstairs is the luxury of two bedrooms with en suite, and generous built-in wardrobes to bedroom one. The other two bedrooms can share the family bathroom, which has a bath and separate walk-in shower. This property is for sale at £525,000.

The specification for each home includes Symphony kitchen units with quartz worktops, a range of A-rated integrated Neff kitchen appliances, laminate worktop with splash back tiling to the utility room, sanitaryware from Ideal Standard and Porcelanosa ceramic wall and floor tiles to WC, kitchen, utility, bathroom and en suite. Depending on the stage of build, the buyer has a whole range of colours and types to choose from to really personalise their new property. In addition, there’s fibre broadband connection, an alarm to house and garage and turf to front and rear gardens.
