Home of the Day – The ‘Farmhouse 5’, Kingswood Homes

The WhatHouse? team takes a close look at our current favourite new build home for sale today – it is the ‘Farmhouse 5’, a detached home style found at The Hollies, Kingswood Homes’ development in the village of Forton, Lancashire.

This is a large detached house type with five bedrooms and an integral garage. It will have great appeal to fans of open-plan living because going through some ‘statement’ double doors from the hallway, you reach a huge open space that incorporates kitchen, dining and family space which offers a real blank canvas for setting out furniture and fittings. There are bi-fold doors to the rear garden as well as patio doors, which can open up the whole of the living space downstairs to the garden to make the most of great weather. Also downstairs is storage both under the stairs and off the hallway, and a WC.

Upstairs is a family bathroom alongside four double bedrooms and a dual-aspect single bedroom that would make a great home office. Bedrooms one and two both have an en suite, with the bonus of a dressing area in the principal one.

This is the top-of-the-range home at this development and it comes with a host of excellent features and fittings as standard. The kitchen comes with a range of high-specification units and appliances, as well as little extras such as a wine cooler and under-cabinet lighting, and the house has chrome light fittings/switches, a few USB sockets, video entry and Nest thermostat.

The ‘Farmhouse 5’ on Plot 18 is priced £418,995.

The Hollies is a development of 38 homes, with a whole range of house types with three, four or five bedrooms, with a variety of styles of brick, render and timber features. Kingswood Homes runs a design-led concept call Shape Your Home which allows buyer to personalise parts of their new home.

The rural village of Forton is close to both Lancaster and Preston and on the edge of the stunning Forest of Bowland. The Lake District National Park is within a 30-minute drive making this the perfect location for those who enjoy the outdoor life.

There are two professionally decorated and furnished show homes open, available to view by appointment from Thursday to Monday, 10.00am to 5.00pm. Prices here start at £219,995.
