About CALA Homes

This development has plenty of kerb appeal, there are around 80 properties, well spaced around a crescent. The builder has varied the positioning of the houses, and tweaked them so you get the impression that every house is different. The design of our house, The Hunsley is most appealing, it has a beautiful kitchen, diner, day room where you can spend most of the day, a separate lounge, 3 good size bedrooms (master ensuite) family bathroom and downstair WC. The site landscaping is peaceful, a 7 acre green space well looked after, and the centre of the development. All of trades men that we have had dealings with and the site management, have been first class, responding to our question promptly and professionally.

The estate itself is beautifully presented – communal grass areas are kept well maintained and the houses all have similar external designs, which offers a nice consistent aesthetic. The build quality is superb and the internal design is really modern and clean. Features such as shower heads, taps, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge etc are all good quality brands rather than being cheap and cheerful. Overall you feel proud when inviting friends and family over. Roads are brand new and not full of pot-holes. The sales team are very friendly and helpful and the after sales care carried out by the site manager is outstanding. Plenty of EV charging points on site. No issues in regards to building and property management. The main downside is how tightly packed everything is – if you have your windows and doors open in the summer you can expect to hear your neighbours and you’re also concious yourself of not making too much noise in order to be considerate, but this is quite typical of a new build estate and to be expected.

Build design Of houses are good, with downsize of small gardens. Roads are quite narrow from some places. Overall facilities are ok but fast speed internet like virgin was not made available at the time of build. No solar panels options were given too. Management company is big rip off, all they do is just cutting grass and charges around £180 a year. Other than that no values added by them, communication is very poor.

The development is great, only 10-15 drive from the town centre where there are lots of nice restaurants and pubs, only frustration is no walk way over the main road to get to local food shops yet. Hoping this gets built by end of the year. Also there is only one way on and off the site which is frustrating. Again hopefully this will be rectified soon.
