The Property
8 Ambler Close is just seven years old, built in 2019 as part of the exclusive Quarry Fields development. The property combines a more traditional red-brick exterior with the modern interiors you’d expect at a newbuild. The owners have given the décor a splash of colour, from dusky blue in the hall, to soft green in the bathroom, to half-height pink and red in the kids’ bedrooms. As well as being brightened up, the house has also been well kept.
The owners are the only ever owners of 8 Ambler Close, purchasing the property brand new. They’ve been really happy here, first moving in as a trio, before expanding their brood. This busy young family of five have had space for everyone, ‘very good’ energy efficiency (with an EPC B rating), and as little maintenance as possible with the house being so new (there are even three years remaining on the warranty).
The space totals 865sqft, with downstairs accommodation including a contemporary kitchen and a super-spacious lounge/diner. The lounge/diner has plenty of floor space for little ones to play as adults catch up over a cuppa, while having formal dining space is a huge advantage if you love to host, as well as for a family to sit down together without being in front of the TV. French doors at the back allow you to step straight outside, taking you from sofa to sunshine in an instant.
The kitchen at the front of the house is sleek, stylish and well equipped. Cabinetry is a matte cream, surfaces are a co-ordinating quartz, and integrated appliances are all Bosch, including an oven, an induction hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. Extra touches include a pull-out hose tap, a discreet extractor, a convenient spice cupboard, plus ceiling speakers for kitchen discos.
The upstairs accommodation consists of three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, the third a decent single. The third bedroom would make a great home office if needed, although the owners have set up a workspace in the principal bedroom instead as there’s a handy alcove for a desk. The principal bedroom also benefits from an en suite – a must-have in a modern family home – while bedrooms two and three share the family bathroom and guests have the downstairs cloakroom. From the back bedrooms are outlooks over the fields behind the house.
The Plot
8 Ambler Close has a garden bigger than you might imagine. There’s a full-width patio from the French doors, with a 50ft lawn beyond. It’s low maintenance, but with lots of potential to add planting or more landscaping if preferred. Being fully enclosed by high fencing keeps pets safe and adds privacy. The plot backs onto fields, granting even more privacy.
Parking at the property is to an allocated bay in front of the house, with further parking available on the road.
The Position
Ambler Close is a small cul de sac of just 17 homes. It’s quiet and tucked away, yet only a short walk of Burton Latimer’s amenities.
