Discover the detail and thought that goes into reimagining the Oporto
The Oporto is a three storey, four bedroom detached home, designed to suit busy modern lifestyles as well as providing the perfect backdrop to relaxing family weekends. Its spacious, light filled lounge can easily accommodate a large corner sofa, making it the ideal spot for unwinding after work, catching up with friends or getting together as a family.

The open plan kitchen and dining area has been placed at the back of the home, with French doors leading out onto the garden. Whether it’s a quick sandwich at the sun-drenched table, or a cosy evening in cooking and chatting, this beautifully designed space can be as peaceful or as sociable as you’d like it to be.

The ground floor also has a cloakroom and large storage cupboard, ideal for coats, boots, vacuums and clutter. Upstairs, there’s even more storage space, along with a single and two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with a full size bath and natural light from its front aspect window.

Whether you need a place for teenagers to call their own, room to host overnight guests, or a spacious office, the first floor makes it easy to create the home that works for you. Climbing the stairs to the second floor you’ll find a stunning loft-style master bedroom suite, with dressing area and high specification ensuite shower room, flooded with light by its unique quadruple roof light feature.

Whether you’re getting ready for work with a refreshing shower and carefully chosen outfit from your fitted wardrobe, or revelling in a rare lie in, this room will make starting every day a pleasure.

Help To Move

A bespoke selling plan for homeowners

Help to Move is designed to help homeowners climb the property ladder. As part of the scheme, we will organise the sale of your existing home, making sure you receive the best possible price. This will allow you to reserve your new home with us.

We will create a personal selling plan, including a review of the property market in your area and an agreed sale price for your home based on two independent valuations.

We will work closely with the nominated estate agent to arrange all viewings and enquiries. All offers will be presented to you, and our Customer Experience Manager will guide you through the negotiation process. 

Once you accept an offer we will track the sale of your home, while you start planning for your brand new one. If your chosen home is ready within a four-month period, we may offer to buy your existing home in part exchange.
