Designed with modern family life in mind, The Sandford combines generous living spaces with thoughtful details to create a home that feels both welcoming and practical.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining area offers the perfect setting for busy mornings, family meals and entertaining guests, with French doors opening out to the garden to effortlessly extend your living space outdoors. A separate utility room helps keep everyday tasks neatly tucked away, while the additional family room provides a versatile space for relaxing, working from home or creating a playroom tailored to your lifestyle.
An illustration, not advice: stamp duty at the rates in force today (GOV.UK), the monthly payment at the Bank of England's average quoted rate for 2-year fixes at 90% LTV, October 2026, the latest it has published.
Mortgages for this home
With a 10% deposit (£55,000) you would borrow £495,000, a 90% loan to value. 11 lenders publish 30 two-year fixed deals at that loan to value. Here are 5 of the 30, sorted by monthly payment.
The bright and spacious living room offers a peaceful retreat for cosy evenings and quiet moments, complemented by convenient downstairs storage and a WC for added practicality.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families, visiting guests or dedicated home office space. The main bedroom benefits from its own en suite and built-in storage, creating a calming sanctuary to unwind at the end of the day, while the contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms with ease.
Balancing sociable spaces with private retreats, The Sandford is a home designed to adapt effortlessly to modern living.

Sorted by the figure you choose, and nothing else: not a recommendation. Each payment is a repayment mortgage over 30 years at the rate the lender publishes for this loan to value; after the deal, at the lender's variable rate today, which can change. The cost over the deal is its payments and the lender's stated fees, less any cashback, and the APRC is worked out the way the FCA sets for lenders. NewHomeSearch is not authorised by the FCA, does not give mortgage advice or arrange mortgages, and receives nothing from lenders. A mortgage is secured on your home. Lenders decide who they lend to and may lend less on some new homes, flats in particular: check every figure with the lender.
