The Ledshams at Royal Oaks are Eco Electric. These homes include air source heat pumps, even thicker insulation, and the wonderful warmth of underfloor heating across the ground floor.
Combining style, space, practicality and with a definite sense of style too, the Ledsham is a home very much designed with the needs of contemporary family life in mind.
The expansive kitchen/dining room perhaps characterises best the Ledsham's pragmatism and flexibility, with its streamlined space, integrated appliances and open plan feel making it ideal for meeting the demands of today's demanding lifestyles.
While many of its rooms are big on space as well as style, the more private study is perfectly set up for working from home, with a utility room providing extra functionality too.
Upstairs, four ample bedrooms, two with en-suites, provide snug and cosy havens, whether you're looking to curl up with a good book or just enjoy some precious ‘me' time.
