Great Development, Not so great Area.
We love our little street we live on. We have wonderful neighbours and don’t have any problems with neighbouring noise as we are tucked away in the development and not located on the main road. We have the train located near us, which we hear ever so often but honestly is not a problem for us as its barely any noise. A negative about the development would be the rubbish and overall cleanliness of the neighbourhood. We are having an issue with couple of neighbours down the road that don’t pick up after themselves and its quite frustrating coming home everyday seeing the rubbish lying around – particularly on the main road coming into the Glisk development. In terms of local shops, we only have an Asda and Aldi near by. We have to drive towards Wallasey (about 15 minutes away) to go get a broader option of shops like Tescos and Lidl. However, we have Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet just 5 minutes away which is convenient. We also have a lovely service station right by the development which is great ! We do wish that the development was located in a better area as Ellesmere Port is quite a “rough” neighbourhood.
Please review your development:
We love our home and the design of the new build is honestly great – we cannot fault it. We are noticing cracks and minor issues with the plaster and paint as well as our carpets that are lifting. But this isn’t major for us, as this can be fixed. Our garden is lovely and spacious as well as our rooms in the home. The home design allows us to interpret how we would like to place our furniture etc -we see this as bonus as many homes in the UK limit you to furniture layouts. We also love that we have a near-by forest to walk in.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish we had known more about Ellesmere Port as we aren’t to fond about it .
