An impressive and well presented three-bedroom home situated within the highly regarded Elmsbrook development in North West Bicester, a development designed around sustainable and energy-efficient living. The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces, solar panels, triple glazing, rainwater harvesting, a landscaped low-maintenance garden and approximately four years remaining on the NHBC warranty.

Elmsbrook forms part of Bicester's pioneering Eco Town and was designed with sustainability at its core. Homes incorporate features including triple glazing, high levels of insulation, solar panels and rainwater harvesting, while the wider development provides extensive green space and sustainable transport options.

Upon entering the property, a wide entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space and benefits from hard flooring, which continues through to the kitchen and downstairs WC. The front door has a frosted glazed panel, allowing natural light into the hallway. To the left is a useful storage cupboard housing the property's hiu heating system, which is connected to the development's communal energy system. The current owners have also upgraded the heating controls to a Nest system, allowing the heating to be controlled remotely via a smartphone. The downstairs WC is notably generous in size and could potentially offer alternative utility-style use, subject to the necessary alterations. It currently comprises a WC and benefits from a frosted front-aspect window and spotlighting.

The kitchen/dining area is positioned at the front of the property and is finished in a combination of white cabinetry, grey worktops and a black dual sink. There is excellent storage alongside a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machine, oven, electric hob and fridge freezer.

A further storage cupboard is located within the hallway and provides particularly useful household infrastructure, housing the Ethernet ports and router, solar-panel isolator, electricity meter and fuse board.

The living room occupies the full width of the property and provides an excellent family and entertaining space. A large rear-aspect window and double doors open onto the garden, creating a strong connection between the internal and external accommodation. The room is carpeted and benefits from plenty of natural light.

Upstairs, the u-shaped staircase, landing and all three bedrooms are carpeted. Bedroom one is a generous rear-facing double bedroom with a floor-to-ceiling mirrored double wardrobe. The room leads into a modern en-suite shower room featuring a double shower tray, floor-to-ceiling tiling within the shower area, spotlighting, a frosted rear window and a large chrome heated towel rail. The family bathroom is finished in a combination of grey tiling and white walls and features a bath with chrome shower over, large chrome heated towel rail, spotlighting and a frosted side-aspect window. Bedroom two is another spacious double bedroom and benefits from dual-aspect windows, with a large front-facing window complemented by a further side-aspect window. Bedroom three is a generous single or small double bedroom, with a large front-aspect window providing plenty of natural light. The first-floor landing also provides a useful storage cupboard positioned above the staircase, alongside access to the loft.

The rear garden has been recently landscaped, creating a deliberately low-maintenance outdoor space. Resin areas are complemented by brick edging, artificial grass and a paved pathway running from the rear doors through to the rear gate. There is also a garden shed which will remain with the property, alongside an outside tap. The garden has a north-west-facing aspect, leaning slightly more towards west, providing a good balance of afternoon and evening sunlight.

Elmsbrook's low-emission E1 bus service provides a direct connection into Bicester town centre and also serves Bicester Village Train Station at peak times.
For commuters, Bicester North Train Station is approximately 1.9 miles away, Bicester town centre approximately 2 miles away, and the M40 less than 4 miles away. Elmsbrook School is approximately 0.3 miles from the property, while local bus stops within the development provide convenient connections into town.

Overall, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a modern, energy-conscious home in one of Bicester's most distinctive developments, combining practical family accommodation with a strong range of sustainable features.

Why Elmsbrook?

Elmsbrook is more than simply a modern housing development. It was planned as an eco-focused community, with sustainability incorporated into the homes and wider neighbourhood. Around 40% of the original development is open space, while features such as solar generation, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient construction, cycle routes and sustainable transport were incorporated into the development's design.

That gives this property a particularly strong combination of modern family living, lower-maintenance outdoor space and energy-conscious technology, while still being within easy reach of Bicester's town centre and transport network.

Please note there is a management fee on the estate.
