Home of the Day – ‘The Hazelton’, Newland Homes
Posted 17 December 2021 by
Keith OsborneWe’ve been looking at Newland Homes’ Mendip Gate development in rural Somerset and really admire a home called ‘The Hazelton’, one of those still available at the popular site.
With prices starting at £455,000, ‘The Hazelton’ is a double-fronted detached house with a single detached garage. Into the hallway and off to one side is the lounge at the front of the house, and walking towards the rear of the house you pass a handy storage cupboard under the stairs and the dining room and reach the real heart the home, and open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the garden. Off this room is the utility room and a WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms (one with en suite and built-in wardrobe) and two single bedrooms which could alternatively serve other functions, such as a home office or hobby room. A bathroom and airing cupboard complete the layout.
There’s an impressive standard specification which includes integrated kitchen appliances; Villeroy and Boch white sanitaryware and chrome fittings to bathroom and en suite fitted with; USB charging points provided in kitchen, lounge and principal bedroom; a number of telephone and TV points throughout; and fitted wardrobes to bedroom one. As with all detached properties at Mendip Gate, and reflecting the Newland Homes’ commitment to eco-conscious homes, there are eight solar panels (exceeding official requirements) to assist with electricity, integrated eco-bins designed into every kitchen to encourage recycling, rain waterbutts and composters. Outside, wiring has been included for an optional electric vehicle charging point.
Mendip Gate comprises 40 homes, a variety of three-, four- and five-bedroom houses, and it is located in a picturesque area between the villages of Churchill and Langford in Somerset’s Chew Valley. It is bordered to the south by the Mendip Hills – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) – and is within striking distance of Bristol (half-an-hour’s drive to the city centre) and Bath (50 minutes) plus just a short drive from the beaches at Brean and Weston-super-Mare, both around 30 minutes away.
Prices at Mendip Gate currently start at £380,000. Find out more from Newland Homes.
