Hurstpierpoint is a lovely area with most basic amenities and an array of small/local businesses. design of the development is nice with a modern look but very close and with OK parking. it’s family friendly with minimal traffic so the kids can play out in the street safely. Building and property management is next to non existent and the builders drive up and down the road daily even though they were designated their own road to use which kicks up dust onto your doors and windows.

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

Bring your toolbox because you’re going to need it.

Parking is a big problem as vans and lorry park overnight on payments causing problems for disable people to walk safely and with poor street lighting makes it bad not my visitor parking.
Large building and bin collecting lorry have problems reversing due to parked vehicles.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Been waiting for 4 months now with problems with uneven floors which should have never been allowed to carpet over in the first place should have been seen when inspected by others or site mangment.

Very limited local shops, but luckily there is a Co Op mini store within easy walking distance. Hailsham is a ten min drive away with a good variety of shops. A couple of pubs serving good food about 15/20 min walk away. Bus service at edge of estate. A little noisy in the playground due to slightly older children from other areas using the playground.Limited parking, although not found to be a problem until you invite a few friends round.

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

We did not know snagging issues would take so long to be resolved.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes, the after sales responses have been good, although after two months we are still chasing them for quite a simply job to be completed.

Cloakham Lawn is generally a friendly development, with low levels of noise and anti-social behaviour. There are very few amenities on the development itself, but you can walk into Axminster in around 15 minutes, and there is a bus service that goes into town and to the train station. The development is situated near to open countryside and footpaths, and the local football and cricket clubs are situated on the edge of the development. Parking is becoming increasingly problematic as more people move into the area, but all properties do have an allocated parking space. Bin collections are regular and reliable, and Devon has an excellent recycling record.

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

Parts of the estate have very poor internet connection speeds which I know has caused issues for people working from home. It is not the whole estate, but it would be worth checking this when purchasing a property.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

I would like to have a bigger garden, and I wish there were more open, landscaped areas on the estate.
