Stunning 4 Bedroom Townhouse

Kev B (Tenant)

Buckler's Park, RG45

Mar 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Really nice location with a great park for the kids, and Coop shop and a brand new pub built within the estate too.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Our ring doorbell wasn’t linked due to a new lock being fitted prior to move in (which was just one of those things and not an issue).

What is the best feature of your home:

It is a stunning family home top to bottom with plenty of space in a great location

Living in a Leaf Living home in Buckler’s Park

Beth (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Leaf Living at Buckler's Park, RG40

Mar 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The estate is such a lovely place to live! The new pub which has recently opened has friendly, welcoming feel for families and we have been both during the day and evening. The coop on the estate is super convenient and offers a wide range of food and groceries, even selling ‘Cook’ luxury ready meals which can be a life saver on days when short for time. The park is amazing and the walk just on our doorstep such a luxury. My husband goes out running every morning around the woodland. We love living here as it is close to our gym up the road and many amenities close by.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any repairs we’ve needed have happened quickly. All staff are very friendly

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The blinds in the building could be of better quality.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The estate is lovely, it has a great park for the kids, a Coop shop and new pub/restaurant built within the estate

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The management team and more importantly Sally (Campbell) have been brilliant; quick to respond and very helpful.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The Yale doorbell system wasn’t able to be set up at move in due to a new lock being fitted the day before we moved in. Not a big issue and more important to have a working lock when we moved in.
