Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Vicky Harvey showed us around the development and we were so happy with her knowledge of the development and the surroundings. The site is conveniently placed to a local pub, walkways through nature and only 10 minutes walk to local shops and the railway station. Whilst development continues, it’s never a problem with site traffic and noise at a minimum. Well lit apart from the newest sunflower close where lights are still to be switched on, the roads and pathways are in great condition and well thought through.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quickly and efficiently through the app and follow up phone calls. Absolutely recommend on this aspect.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything was so easy and well explained that there really isn’t anything I would change.

A lovely community and attractive place to live.. commute to A1 couldn’t be easier! A few nice coffee shops and a lovely bar in the area with a good sized Coop on site too. Haven’t experienced any issues with any aspect of living in The Hawkings. Lynn on the property management side has been very helpful.

There is digging early as it’s an active site but this didn’t really bother me!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We havent officially moved in yet but the street where we will be located is quiet and out of the main area. The shops at the bottom of the road are lovely having visited the local tescos a couple of times when we have been up to site its big and has a lot of stock. The new Starbucks is lovely and cozy. Looking forward to the subway going in. Not sure on bin collection. We have a shared drive which were hoping will be okay as we have a large truck and big family suv so hoping we can all safely share the drive. from the start of the process to now signing our tenancy agreement has been great, Katy and Oli have been incredible even with the few bumps we encountered they really went above and beyond to try get us sorted and now we have our move in date we are really excited for our new chapter with our children on what looks like a lovely site for families like ourselves we honestly appreciate all the work that has gone in to helping us secure our new family home. Thank you again Katy and Oli.
