Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Buying a home in Tadpole Garden Village has been one of the biggest disappointments. While the property itself was delivered, the overall development has been nothing short of a disgrace. We are now over 3 years in, and the roads are still unfinished, the landscaping is incomplete, and the whole estate looks like a never-ending building site. Crest Nicholson made countless promises about community facilities, infrastructure, and a high-quality finish – but these have been consistently missed or delayed. The lack of proper planning and delivery makes the development feel neglected and half-done. It is completely unacceptable that after so many years, residents are still living with poor roads, unfinished areas, and a lack of basic completion. The marketing painted a picture of a well-designed, thriving community. The reality is very different. Deadlines come and go, promises are broken, and accountability is nowhere to be found. Crest Nicholson have shown little regard for the people who invested their life savings here. If I could turn back time, I would never buy from Crest Nicholson. They care more about selling houses than fulfilling their obligations to residents. My advice: avoid at all costs.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would never move in if I would of know that the roads and nature reserve will be so neglected and half-done
What is the best feature of your home:
Open plan kitchen/dining room is the jewel of the house

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Road too narrow to get on and off drive. Site not yet finished so cannot comment on open spaces and parks etc.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We wish we had known that new build developers don't care. They just want your money.
What is the best feature of your home:
The garden, as we did this ourselves. The house is a massive disappointment.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area has quite a few local amenities; a coop and a Tesco! And a fair few takeaways. We both use cars but the public transport appears to be good. Lots of busses pass through the centre of Ludgershall. The parking situation in our street is not fantastic. There are lots of cars parked along the road as there has been no visitor parking allocated. However, the street and the development so far is very quiet and we have experienced no anti-social behaviour.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Once you have furniture in the rooms, they are very small due to lack of built in storage!
What is the best feature of your home:
The beat feature of our home is the kitchen! We would have loved for it to lead out to the garden but even in its current layout, it is spacious and has good natural lighting. We get lots of compliments on this room particularly!
