The young couple have purchased one of Muse Developments’ desirable Harvard townhouses, which offer a prime location on the banks of more than 50 acres of stunning waterside.

Scott, who transferred to Scunthorpe United from Preston North End last year, and Leanne were immediately taken by the stylish three storey Harvard show home, and handpicked their plot when there was just one of three floors built. The contemporary design of the townhouse as well as the stunning views and direct access to the lake impressed the couple, who fell in love with their new home on the spot.

The pair, who are originally from Bridgewater in Somerset, are now making the most of their new life by the lake.

Scott said: “It’s been brilliant. We love the bright and airy rooms; the ceilings are high and there are really big windows so the light just pours in, glimmering off the lake. We spend a lot of our time at home pottering in the large kitchen/diner; we love the floor-to-ceiling windows and the view across the water is fantastic. Now that the warmer evenings are here we can sit outside either in the garden or on our first floor balcony.”

There are just nine remaining Harvard homes available to buy, available from just £279,950, each making the most of the sought-after lakeside location with tranquil, waterside views from every floor. Each home offers a waterside garden with individual access to the lake beyond, as well as a first floor balcony overlooking the lake. The Harvard also features 3 double bedrooms with two en-suites; bathroom; a spacious, light and airy kitchen/diner; a study or work space; separate utility room and garage.

Scott added: “The location of The Residence is brilliant for us, there’s so much all within easy walking distance including shops, restaurants and the cinema.”
