Wonderful rural idol
The design of the development is wonderful with lots of open space and access to the public footpaths. I also like that some of the original WW2 buildings have been adapted and used as accommodation or for sheltered parking. We even have our own war memorial to remember those how paid the ultimate price. The property management appears very good but the landscape maintenance has not yet been handed over the company by the developer, so it is too early to comment on that aspect. A bad point would be that there is very little topsoil on the front and rear gardens so much of the grass is dying, this is a great shame and detracts from the otherwise lovely layout. The houses are expensive and would should expect decent ground preparation and turfing.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The great thing about living on Hayfield green is without doubt the location. Wonderfully rural and a part of the ancient village which has fantastic history. Also its good to know that a Brownfield site (Ex RAF Stanton Harcourt) has been utilised rather than green belt. There is a local newsagent who also stocks emergency items, however there is a new bus service to Eynsham and all the large supermarkets deliver here anyway. Witney is only 7 Miles away for shopping and Oxford is about the same for the theatre. The local Pub “The Harcourt Arms” is a lovely place with wonderful food. It is very quiet here with only the odd passing plane from RAF Brize Norton but they are pretty infrequent and surprisingly quiet. The lack of street lights means you get a wonderful starry night too. Bin collections are normal and parking is not currently an issue with houses having at least room to park 2 cars and other visitor parking is available off the road. There has been a small amount of anti-social behaviour but residents here do not put up with this and report it straight away and this has now abated. We are close to many public footpaths and the river Thames is only 1 mile away. I love it here and it is the best place I have ever lived.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would have liked to have had a detailed explanation on the operation of the Air Source Heat Pump system. The housing association staff had no idea about it and the plumbers who fitted it also had little knowledge.
I would say that as the house is highly insulated this ASHP system works well.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes I had some snagging and this has been dealt with to my satisfaction
