Renowned for innovative design, Davies Homes produced another masterpiece in Bridleways Estate, and the town of trees and champions.

From the street, this brand-new home hints of a cosy cottage, complete with the white picket fence; just in a thoroughly modern way. First impressions disguise the true magnitude of this home, however. Spacious at 238sqm (more or less), it transforms family living and entertainment. More importantly, it delivers flexibility.

Clever placement of four bedrooms gives options for work or guests. Elegant bathroom design blends convenience with luxurious style; walk-in showers, privacy where it counts and personal vanities in the primary suite. Five-star romance here separates the bathroom and dressing room, to highlight the focus on space. High-stud ceilings expand that concept throughout.

These elements are merely the entrée. A gourmet kitchen is a focal point in family living; clean lines, negative detail and a Nordic influence introducing woodgrain features in shelving and cabinetry to complement the hard flooring. High-end appliances include two Smeg wall ovens and induction hob. A clean counter on the bar-stool island is dream entertaining, while the scullery is almost a second kitchen.

Dining enjoys its own corner, a cushioned window seat the ultimate snuggle invite. Clever design defines each area in the family hub, while staying close and personal. And then there’s the TV lounge – the cottage corner, you might say. Sitting in its own wing; separated by the formal welcome at the front door; it’s a jewel in the crown.

Detail controls this home. Efficiency underpins it. Thermally-broken double glazing, high spec insulation, ducted air conditioning, gas-fire comfort, solar panels, smart lighting inside and out and rainwater for the garden. The outdoor vibe intimate and inviting; fenced and landscaped on an artistic scale.

Please come and explore it. Amy and Angela want to show you a new way of life; here in Bridleways, the heart of Cambridge.
