We live in a Ten50 design property which is a 3 bed detached. We loved the design as soon as we viewed it, and the open plan aspect and tall windows makes it very light and airy. Love the Lootility room as it keeps all your laundry out of the way, and means no noisy washing machine in the kitchen. All the appliances and worktops in the kitchen are top spec, as is all the bathroom and en suite facilities. All in all we absolutely love our house!

We are in walking distance of Barrowford which has a great selection of shops ,bars and restaurants. We are close to great transport links with M65 and close to the Yorkshire border. Plenty of open spaces for walks etc and there is a great college just around the corner. Parking is not a problem on the development as houses come with their own parking spaces, and it is very quiet area with no traffic noise.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

In all honesty we can’t think of anything. Raul Garcia, the on site sales executive, did a fantastic job of showing us around the property and explained everything in detail. We came away from our viewing extremely knowledgeable and convinced buying the property was the right life choice.

What is the best feature of your home:

The master bedroom! With hidden walk in wardrobe and en-suite, and tv wall makes it feel very luxurious. The en -suite shower is so powerful it’s absolutely fantastic!

The Northstone development is excellent . The design, layout , everything about it . The layout and design sets it self apart from all the other developments. Northstone has really outdone themselves with the layout and design, I haven’t seen other developments with the same unique design and thought-out layouts. Everything in the house just feels well planned and designed with the user in mind. We are very happy with our Northstone home and can’t imagine finding a development better than this one.

Our neighbourhood is lovely . We are really happy with our surrounding neighbours. The only thing negative we have to say about the neighbourhood is that the litter is really terrible . Entering Glisk can feel quite unwelcoming when it comes to the slightly litter lying around the houses . This is mostly on Jackswood avenue . This is the same when entering the forest as there is rubbish lying everywhere . Other than that Glisk is lovely . With regards to local shops, I don’t feel like there is a massive variety however if you drive further down to Bromborough , there’s much better shops in terms of options. We don’t have any problems with traffic noise or bad behaviour on our street. We are very pleased with how quiet it is . We don’t have problems with bin collections. Parking isn’t a problem either , our guests park on the curb and we park in our designated parking in front of our home.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish we could have seen what a daily life looks like in the neighbourhood . The litter around the forest and the neighbourhood wasn’t as evident when we viewed the showroom – I do wish we would have seen that to know what to expect from our neighbours . I think it would have also been great for us to know more about the area as we weren’t too familiar with it as we aren’t originally from the UK . Ellesmere Port isn’t the greatest neighbourhood to live in however the Glisk makes it feel like an entirely different area amongst all the other developments surrounding us.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature . Hmmm, I’d probably say I have three. That would be the lootality – I love the functionality of the space , the kitchen – I love how open plan and spacious it is , allowing us to use the space how we want to , and lastly our spacious master bedroom – it is so large and spacious for a new build home

We love the design of our house – open plan enough to feel spacious, yet homely! Our lounge is at the front & would have been nice to be a little bit bigger, but other rooms are well proportioned and love the flow of the kitchen into the garden at the back. We were early in the Northstone journey so have an older kitchen design with less worktop space, so we might look to adapt like the newer houses at some point. We love having our own private parking and great sized garden. All told, we’d only been here a few weeks & it felt like we’d been here forever – we love it!

The design of the houses is fantastic and unlike anything we have seen in other new build developments. Snags have been rectified and were they haven’t, Customer Care have been excellent at putting tickets in to ensure these jobs get sorted. From start to finish, everyone at Northstone have been absolutely fantastic – answering our questions and having patience with us as first-time buyers. The Smart Home features of the houses are excellent and are a positive addition to the living experience.
