About Hayfield
Hayfield are recognised as a multi-award winning homebuilder. Hayfield design thoughtful homes which are crafted by skill and expertise, driven by the principle of thinking differently.
Extremely Happy Family in Our First Home
The house designs are very nice and have a luxury feel and look. The materials and brands chosen for the interior, such as the kitchen (The Manor Caninet Company) and bathroom / en-suite (Roca and Roman) are very nice. Hayfield does a great job of installing large, luxury kitchens and it is the first thing our guests always compliment when they visit.
Hayfield does need improvement on how they finish and leave the rear gardens. We and three other neighbours all had similar complaints such as uneven ground and poor fence installation.
The building and property management has been excellent all in all. Hayfield have always been just one email or phone call away and have helped to get many snags and other issues rectified. The staff have always been friendly and approachable; including those at the sales office, managers, directors and all the landscapers and contractors that have visited us on Hayfield’s behalf.
We have sympathised with Hayfield from the start with many of the Covid and Brexit related issues they’ve encountered such as materials shortages. This really delayed many of their deadlines. They’ve done their best to get back on track and that’s why we’ve been very patient with them.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Positives:
Great Gransden has a very low crime rate.
It is an award winning village and it is easy to see why when you take a stroll; it’s very quaint, quiet and charming.
The local school is superb.
The local post office / convenient store store is deceivingly convenient in all it has to offer.
There is no noise pollution or ASB on or near Hayfield Avenue.
The Cambridge Fish Bar comes to Great Gransden every Thursday and the fish and chips are amazing.
Negatives:
The only public house (The Crown & Cushion) is still currently closed.
The closest restaurant is in Caxton which is No 77 Thai Restaurant & Bar.
Many of the ‘Anti-Hayfield Development’ residents in Great Gransden do not like any of the residents on Hayfield Avenue. Opposition is still very raw and strong.
There isn’t a local children play park.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish we had know how little storage we had inside the house. Storage is not something that is spoken of in any detail during the viewings and it’s definitely an important thing to think about early doors. Despite us being very prudent in having built in wardrobes installed as an extra to both bedroom 2 and 3, even now we still struggle. If your house does not have a garage, you’re going to need a shed installed in the rear garden pronto and you’re going to need to research ‘storage hacks’.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have responded quickly, politely and efficiently every time.
