Bloor Homes at Penkridge, ST19

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The local shops and pubs are a short walk away and the estate has nice walkways around it which is maintained, there is a nice little playground and some allotments, no road noise from where we are

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

We knew the area before we moved in so didn’t need to know anything before we moved in, the only issue is that the WiFi is on an OFNL network but we still manage to get a WiFi provider.

What is the best feature of your home:

The whole house is perfect, the interior has a good layout and the exterior has a good garden which wraps around the house

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Penkridge is a lovely location with good access to M6 and great train services south to Wolverhampton and Birmingham and north to stafford, Manchester, Liverpool, Chester and beyond. Traffic noise from the M6 fluctuates depending on the way the wind blows! We lack a big supermarket in Penkridge, need an Aldi or Tesco as there are only two small co-op stores, which are very expensive.

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

We have a utility area - we expected to have a washing machine and tumble dryer in there. However there is only space for a washing machine. Hoped to stack them in worst case, but the boiler is in the way, so the utility area is just a washing machine.

What is the best feature of your home:

Overall design, inside and out. South facing garden.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Excellent facilities in the local area, shops, pubs, transport links and open spaces. Generally parking is not a problem living on an end plot.

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

With the increased cost of living, the boiler and efficiency of the house was a pleasant surprise.

What is the best feature of your home:

Efficient insulation throughout the home especially in the winter.

I moved from another part of the local area so already aware of what the location could offer. On that basis I was happy to move 1 mile to the development.

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

I’d have liked to have had more information regarding broadband supply short term and long term

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

This is my first home and I don’t think I could have asked for a better location, easy access to the motorway, Penkridge itself is lovely, Jaspers bakery say no more. There’s loads of pubs, railway station is a 10 minute walk.

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

The only thing I’d mention is the train can be quite loud at times if you’re in the garden but this last 20 seconds so isn’t really a problem

What is the best feature of your home:

The rooms are really spacious, and the kitchen is perfect lots of storage space
