Home of the Day – The ‘Poppy’, Lodge Park Homes

The WhatHouse? team scours the new homes market for some notable properties and our top choice today is called the ‘Poppy’, a house type currently for sale at Woodland Chase, a development from Lodge Park Homes in Corby, Northamptonshire.

The ‘Poppy’ is an attractive double-fronted house which comes with a single garage and driveway. On entering the welcoming hallway, off to one side at the front of this home is a lounge and off the other a dedicated study – a ‘must-have’ for many home workers these days. The hub of the home is at the rear, an open-plan kitchen/dining room with feature island hob and worktop, and bifold doors to the garden. Off this room is a utility room with its own door to the outside – great for avoiding muddy foot- and paw-prints on the kitchen floor – and there’s a cloakroom and some understairs storage completing the ground floor. There’s more storage off the landing upstairs too. Every one of the four bedrooms is a comfortable double and bedroom one comes with en suite shower room – the others can share the family bathroom. The ‘Poppy’ is currently priced from £450,500.

As with the ‘Poppy’, the specification of all homes at this development includes a range of kitchen options, some built-in appliances, gas-fired central heating, numerous electrical/TV/BT/USB sockets and contemporary-design bathroom sanitaryware and fittings. Some plots come with energy-efficient and eco-friendly electric car charging points and photovoltaic panels.

Woodland Chase is a collection of 87 private sale two-, three- and four-bedroom homes situated off London Road in Priors Hall Park.

Priors Hall Park is a growing community which aims to provide some 5,000 new homes to the area when completed, together with a host of amenities. There are two nurseries, a primary school, and for Year 7 and over, Corby Business Academy. Serving everyone are a community centre and services including hairdressers, dental practice and vet surgery.

At the heart of Priors Hall Park is the amphitheatre, an open space to socialise and see a host of outdoor events such as theatre shows and live bands. A designated County Wildlife Site meets with an eight-acre lake, and there’s a two-kilometre pathway. There are a number of uniquely designed outdoor fitness equipment which together with a freely accessible app together offer 180 exercises for residents of all ages. Families will enjoy eight safe onsite play areas for children of all ages.

For work or leisure, Corby railway station is just minutes from the Park and offers regular services to London taking around 72 minutes and trains to Nottingham and Sheffield. By road, the M1 and M6 are easy to get to for access to a host of major towns and cities.
