I love my Northstone Home

There’s a bus stop at the turn into the street with direct buses to the university, bus interchange and train station.
Home comes with its own driveway that fits at least 2 cars which is very convenient. Adequate space for bin storage and the council collects the bins regularly. No noted antisocial behaviour. While indoors I don’t hear any traffic sounds and barely any traffic sounds while standing outside my home.

Please review your development:

Nice location with good transport links. The residents are also lovely. Everyone who comes down the street starts asking questions about the buildings and development because they look attractive and different from the typical UK homes. The design within the homes is even better with relatively high ceilings and good management of the space.

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

I only wish I had known how expensive it will be to decorate a place I love.

What is the best feature of your home:

There’s so many but my favourite is the lootility which is a combined downstairs loo and utility room. I also love the high ceilings and large windows downstairs.

The location is relatively good, we’re not far from local woods and the local nature reserve which is a twenty min walk. We’re not far from local supermarkets which i a 5 minute drive but would like a more local shop to be able to walk to as the nearest is probably a 25 minute walk

Please review your development:

We absolutely love the design, it feels so light and airy. We’ve lived here for over 6 months and still wake up with a smile on our face each day. The fact that’s it’s open plan just makes everything flow and aesthetically looks amazing. We absolutely love the energy suite and how spacious the shower is and doesn’t feel too small like other new builds.

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

We wished we had looked into how much the council tax was for the property we chose as we didn’t realise just how much more would be paying.

What is the best feature of your home:

There’s too many to choose but probably the kitchen if I really had to pick.

Never in lack of restaurants and bars, neither barbers 💈 nor supermarkets. Walkable distance to train stations though trains often go on strike. Frequent Buses access to Bolton town centre and Wigan town centre. Good primary schools around. Easy to get parking spaces. Bin collections go quite regular— once per two weeks.

Please review your development:

Spacious area for public.
Quite a lot green area designed and managed.
Only worse thing is the designed two entrances / exits to the development has changed to one. Therefore, there is just one exit/ entrance while it’s next to a high school & leisure centre. People just park even there is a double yellow line when there is event held. This is the only less favourable side of the development.

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

I hope I could notice the utility room for three bedrooms plots could not facilitate both washing machine and dryer in advanced.

What is the best feature of your home:

It’s a smart living home. We could just use the apps to control the lighting and heating when we first move it.

Very close to supermarket, restaurants and walking distance to train station

Very close to supermarket, restaurants and walking distance to train station. It also fast to access highway so the location is very convenient.

Please review your development:

The ceiling are higher than normal house which gives a more spacious environment. For keeping warm, it maybe better to provide a door to separate dinning and living room or a porch area so as to avoid cold air rush into the house directly. Besides, the radiatot should be more and bigger for larger house.

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

With the expectation that there is the chance on the delay of completion.

What is the best feature of your home:

High ceiling which makes home feel more spaciousand comfortable.
