We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The development is not at all finished yet. We moved into our home in August 2023 and we are right by the entrance to the site. There is constant noise, contractors blocking our drive and rubbish left on our property at the end of the day. We were so excited to move into our new home but have been totally let down by the developers. I am sure it will be lovely in due course, but it does feel as though they have moved us in months too early and we are living on a building site.

The design of the estate is great, the only issues have been with the after sales service, this has felt like a war at many times. Also the design of the houses has not been the best, locations of radiators in the middle of lounges, positions of telecom and multimedia boxes taking up potential garden areas when they have a lot of waste land space in front of them

Great house, especially for rental or first house! Modern but still Homely! Good quality kitchen and bathroom for everyday living! Areas clean and tidy and great services like window cleaning and hedge cutting to keep everything looking clean and tidy!

The design of the properties are lovely and all match well together. Our flat is well thought out and spacious. The building management however are slow to reply to emails and increase the maintenance yearly when it most cases it doesn’t need too. We’re still waiting for the hallways to be redecorated which they said they would do when everyone had moved in which was around 3 years ago. We love the surrounding area though we were told that most of the green spaces were to be kept but they have no been built on which is really disappointing as these areas were the reason we chose this development.

Well managed site. Always groundkeepers on site keeping everything up together. The site itself is extremely scenic, lots of green open space, making it a beautiful place to live. The facilities are up and coming and continue to be developed. The design is flawless, and really well set out. Only downside is the property management. They used to be very firm with ensuring that no rubbish/things left in people's front garden to make sure things consistently look tidy and clean. However, since COVID, and maybe to be expected, this has fallen in standard.
