Spacious, modern and homely. Parking spaces are adequate next to the house but it is a squeeze if people start to park on the road in front of houses. Street lighting is unpredictable, some work and some don’t. There are locations e.g the path that is running through the new estate that is not lit up so is not safe to walk that way in the evenings. Defects were reported and resolved but did take 3-4 months to get someone to attend and resolve the issues. The road surfaces were not laid until 6 months after move in which created additional wear to your vehicle and even now only some roads have been surfaced, others not. Water was not connected to the mains for around 3 months after moving in either so pressure was a trickle, now resolved.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Spacious new homes in a semi rural location but within walking distance to shops, schools and fields! Close to train stations and bus routes so excellent for commuters. Recycling & waste bins are collected on separate days but always the same week. Minimal – no traffic noise from my situated house so very peaceful to sit outside in the evening. Some antisocial behaviour has been reported at the local park but this has soon stopped. Street lighting is unpredictable, some work and some don’t.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Lovely area, peaceful garden atmosphere during summer evenings and a real sense of community.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The site manager responded to me by saying “everyone has that problem” so showed no compassion, urgency or apology towards the water pressure issue. All contractors that have come to the house however, have been lovely!
