For specific plot completion dates and current sales availability, interested parties should contact the developer's sales advisors directly.

An example 5-bedroom style is The Broadhaven, which features a large open-plan kitchen/dining/snug area. The standard specification across the Kingswood development is high-end, designed to appeal to families and upsizing buyers. Kitchens feature integrated AEG appliances and quartz worktops. Bathrooms and en-suites are finished with premium Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and Hansgrohe rainfall showers.
