Carmen Fields, TN33

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

This is a great area to live in as its close to the beach and in the countryside. There are not so many public transport links around here but then I lived around here already so I was used to that and have a car

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

I'd say the house is great except for the front door is quite difficult to open for my children and I'm a bit worried about security as it looks easy to break in.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of our home is probably the warmth and the fact that no one had lived here before and the light

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

Good local pubs and good transport, too. Friendly neighbourhood and the people in the local biallges Bon collections are on time and the traffic noise is considerably lower than any where else we have lived in the area.

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

I wish I would have known that it would take more than 3 months for the play vround to open as this was something that drew us to the area so our son could play on it.

What is the best feature of your home:

Large rooms. The french doors are a great touch and they lead onto a lovely garden.

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

Good aspects The beautiful local countryside. 2 good local pubs A good garage for MOTs etc. Bad aspects The negative attitude and opinions of some of the local residents about people who live on a social housing estate. The lack of facilities for children and young people. There is a token playground on the estate but this has not been opened yet for use. This leads to some children left to their own devices and getting into trouble. Local shops more expensive than supermarkets which can only be reached if you have transport

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

To have more information on the air source heat pump, brilliant ideal but totally overwhelming on how to use it. Our new home demo was sadly useless with regard to this.

What is the best feature of your home:

So far it seems to be economical to run. It looks good from the outside and looks lovely, bright and fresh inside. We are grateful to have our home and that is more important than any other issues.
