We have lived here for a year and a half and we still don’t have a road. The bumps coming in and out of the estate are jarring and it will be really nice when this is not the case anymore. The house itself is lovely. I have only had to report one issue, which unfortunately was not followed up on and so I have had to chase this. The development is still being built so it’s hard to review the overall development while we are still having to experience the plethora of trucks, continuously dirty unfinished roads and dust in the air; because overall when it’s done I think it’ll be really nice.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The village is lovely but the house prices in this village are extortionate for what it is. It’s not the development itself that’s too expensive it’s the area more generally. The village has good shops, schools, mechanics and petrol station and is within a 15 minute range to town center which is really nice. But for a village the amount of accessible country walks is really limited and pathways throughout the village are really thin to accommodate the large vehicles that occupy the roads, so walking around here is less of an option than you would expect from a village. Generally though it’s a convenient location and the schools make it very desirable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the grass and garden was going to be unhealthy and hard to manage as the soil beneath is completely clay. Many have suggested I get an entirely new lawn but this would cost thousands. I would also recommend that they plan for the lack of storage and lack of space in the bedrooms and in perhaps even buy this house as if it were a two bedroom home as the third bedroom is an entirely useless space, not even fitting a bed, unless of course you didn’t want the door. I would recommend this house to someone who valued open planned living and cooking with people, as it is lovely for this.
What is the best feature of your home:
The kitchen is beautifully designed and has a lovely open plan. It really is a beautiful space. The bathrooms are also very well thought out and are a lovely part of the house too.
