The house looks lovely and suits our needs as a family of four

Verified Resident

Review Date Dec 2022

The house looks lovely and suits our needs as a family of four. We have a large drive, nice sized garden, large garage and the finishes on the interior are great. There are a few issues however that aren’t ideal which are as follows – the garden was badly turfed when we moved in meaning we had to re-landscape and pay out more to get it fixed, the house also gets very cold despite being insulated, this seems to be as a result of two issues: first being that the thermostat is situated in the smallest and warmest room in the house (living area) so the heating just turns off once that room is warm and isn’t on long enough for the second and top floors to heat up to an appropriate temperature, having the heating on a higher temperature or for longer would cost us double with the energy prices! The second issue which no doubt contributes to the first is that the front door lets in a draft and travels directly up the stairs to the second and top floors meaning those are always a lot colder than the ground floor. We had to install a curtain over the door which helps but doesn’t eliminate the problem completely.
There have been some issues from Trinity Estate Management with asking for payments for the upkeep of the green spaces and park, however they haven’t been very efficient when dealing with reports or the upkeep of some over grown areas. Trees that were planted around the park weren’t watered or cared for properly resulting in a large number of them dieng and still not being replaced, along with other shrubbery and plants when they were newly planted over the hot, dry spells earlier in the year.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

We have a couple of local shops and pubs. There is a bus stop right outside the development along with push bikes to hire with access to cycling routes. We have a large drive that can fit up to 3 cars if parked close together, extra street parking is available also. We live opposite a play park with an open grassed picnic area and orchard. Bin collections are extremely efficient and they are always very helpful. A lovely estate to live on with minimal noise from the main roads. There are a variety of primary schools in the area, however only one walkable secondary school and lots of developments around this area means competition for this high school is very high, there are no catchment schools for the postcode or guarantees of getting a place from location alone.

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

We wished we hadn’t initially paid for the development to turf our garden knowing now the condition it was left in when moving in. It was very expensive at over £600!

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is ideal, we also love our spacious top floor en suite bedroom with large built in wardrobes.

Generally good, safe clean area. Easy to heat and keep clean

Verified Resident

Review Date Dec 2022

The property itself is clean and simply designed. It is good to have the downstairs loo and storage cupboard. The kitchen design could be better, there is an unusual use of space with the cupboards and a lack of plug sockets. However the surfaces are easy to clean and the design looks neat. En suite off main bedroom is a great size and there is built in wardrobes in the master. Other bedrooms are small but manageable. Outside the garden is small and on a slope which is a downside and would have been more user friendly had it been levelled off.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Very good accessibility to shops and restaurants as well as good country pubs and walks. Bin collections always on time and the development is quiet and well maintained.

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

That there were going to be so many more houses built in the area

What is the best feature of your home:

The en suite is the best, it is large and the shower had great power and the tiles are stylish and practical

It’s a lovely place to live

Verified Resident

Review Date Dec 2022

We live in front of the main park which is really nice. The design of this area is lovely and open. The house around us look good, we love their design. Some of the street’s addresses are really hard to find and don’t seem to make sense. We heard lots of people saying the delivery companies couldn’t find their house easily. We are renting our house privately so we don’t know much about the management.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Herefort point is close to town, about 10min car drive. We have access to the bus stop very close by for those who haven’t got a car. There’s a hotel and bar 5 min walk down the road which is great. Living on our street is good, only us and our neighbour have to drive past our house so there’s no traffic at all. Parking is easy.

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

The flooring is quite cheap and doesn’t clean very well (kitchen and bathrooms). It’s easily marked by normal use..Also the paint job is not on point. There’s loads of touch ups to be done in many different rooms. The paint also washed away if you use a clean cloth to remove a stain.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love our kitchen oven and hob. The kitchen is quite small but these are great. We also have 3 bathrooms, one on each floor which is quite useful.

Nice development close to town, good walking paths nearby. Can walk into town from location and good places nearby for dogs. Houses are built to a good spec staying warm in the winter, nice spacious family living space. Some nice features such as velum windows in kitchen area, l bay window on living room.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The house is behind a new development and so there is noise and mess on the road/footpath sometimes, this has been cleared up recently so is not currently an issue.

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

I have never lived in a building site before so I wasn’t aware that it would be as disturbing as it is, I have got used to it now but it’s not ideal, once the development is finished it’s an ideal location for family’s , nice and close to town

What is the best feature of your home:

Family room at the rear of house, ideal for a large family , good light space

Lovely place to live.

Review Date Dec 2022

Houses are well build, all equipment is of high standard especially bathrooms, very nicely finished. Rooms are spacious. Kitchen is quite big, you can easily put table and chairs in it up to 6 people with plenty room left around. We never had any issues with property management, or facilities on that matter.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Excellent location, plenty shops around. Plenty nice walks to go around! Quiet area which is very suitable for us but if someone prefers more lively surroundings might find it this area not suitable.

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

Only thing we might say we would like to know before we moved in was the fact that we had to figure out when and what bin was collected on what days.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love our kitchen, how spacious it is with nice white cupboards and dark work tops gives nice cosy and clean feeling.

Modern style build with an open plan kitchen dinner plenty of room. Large living room with large windows surrounding

Good location, walking distance to the shops but far enough away from the main road so traffic noise isn’t an issue

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

What aspect do the solar panels play? As in do they save on any bills?

Houses are finished to an acceptable standard. However, communal areas are very poor and unfinished. Lived in property two years and road is yet to be tarmacked. Unfinished, fenced off play areas outside property. Residents continue to raise issues with Bloor with no success.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Good local amenities. Traffic in Hereford can be terrible.
Street atmosphere is nice. Sufficient parking.

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

Sub standard quality of communal areas that are now finished to the standard advertised.

What is the best feature of your home:

House is nice and new with space. Location on development

Really impressed!

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date Dec 2022

The property is modern and well designed with adequate facilities. Management Seems good as well. The development as a whole looks amazing and has a local children’s park which is perfect for me as I have a young daughter. It’s a peaceful area with quiet respectful neighbours.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

There’s plenty of local shops and a small supermarket within walking distance, regular buses and a bus stop 2 minutes away. I have my own parking space and the traffic noise is minimal. There is no anti social behaviour in the area and I’m confident that it’ll remain that way.

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

I have no negatives about moving into my property, my expectations have been surpassed.

What is the best feature of your home:

The front face of the house looks great, which is my favourite thing about the property as its the first thing you see.

A good development

Verified Resident
Verified Resident
Review Date Dec 2022

The development is well thought out, and has a good layout, with a good range of house types, and consideration to the building materials for each one so it doesn’t all look completely uniform. It’s a large development, but there’s plenty of green space, and good sized gardens, so it doesn’t feel too closed in.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Hereford Point is close is ideally located: it’s not right in the city centre, but the city centre is within walking distance, and everything you could need is there.

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

That the developer doesn’t mean it when it promises to remedy within 4 weeks all snags reported in the first 10 days. It’s now more than a year since I moved in and they are not all finished.

What is the best feature of your home:

The design and location are excellent. It’s spacious and well-insulated, which is a positive during the cost-of-living “crisis”.
