I am very happy with the design of my house. The kitchen is my favorite and it offers a lovely bright space with skylights. I did have quite a few snags as expected with a new build but countryside was very good at booking the right people to sort the issues although the wait was pretty long. They used quality suppliers for flooring and tiling and a great choice was available. Although the kitchens were thrown together it seemed with cupboards not level, they did come out to try and resolve the issues. The only change I would make to my property is that Id have an internal door going from the kitchen into the integral garage, rather than having to walk outside to then have to access another door. Due to this the garage floor is also lower than the rest of the build so it would need raising if you were to make this into another room. Most builds, for example, Bellway Homes, would have access from the kitchen. The reason why I chose Countryside is the extras that you got within your deal. It makes such a different to have those add ones, where as other developers charge a fortune. The moving process was so much smoother knowing you had carpets and flooring and a fully fitted kitchen all ready, even a shed and washing line!
Now trying to make improvements to the garden space, its difficult to plant shrubs and flowers with the rubble in the ground. The turf hasn’t done to well but in comparison to most developers where this is not standard, this is a perk again of countryside properties.
Solar panels are on all the house, although I am yet to see any benefit to energy with these even before the price hike
The site manager of countryside was very helpful when on site and would go the extra mile to help with any issues before they had finished on the build.

Unfortunately that is one of the most disappointing aspects of the area is that you there are no local shops, however a short drive you can access the main shopping centre of Kirkby. Transport links will be improved soon when the new train station opens but the development has no easy access routes by car to other parts of Kirkby and you have to drive all the way round. Good parking is available as houses each have 2 parking spaces. The street is normally quite but there are some residents on the rented side who like to drive really fast up and down the street and are a danger to those enjoying a walk with dogs or children.
There is an area as you drive into Southcroft Drive which is scruffy and the grass is rarely cut. The promise of planting trees has not happened. Bin collections are fine as long as you take your bin in soon after so kids don’t run off with it. There is a nice green space at the top of southcroft drive and also round the back you can access the field.

My house backs on to a rented property which I own the fence and the rental business (simplelife homes) ignores requests to paint the fence or allow me to contact the tenant to ask.
What is the best feature of your home:
I would say the kitchen and the skylights. Its a great open and bright space with lovely double doors going out into the garden
Good design and location
Good selection of home designs and the interior layouts are very good
The Sandford has an excellent master bedroom and overall the room layout is very logical. Heating in winter is very efficient and it was turned off a lot as the house retains heat well. Overall a good house which appears to have increased in value since purchasing 3 years ago

Lovely houses
Lovely neighbours houses are lovely and spacious all modern and fresh looking. Property management is ok sometimes trouble getting through to someone but when there is an issue somebody would come out and fix it when you eventually got through. Overall experience is good though.

Delighted to find out a new train station being built a couple of hundred metres away. Wasn’t aware until I moved in, but will be great for getting into Liverpool
What is the best feature of your home:
I love my open plan kitchen with velour windows and French doors opening onto the garden
Feature we do like is the sky lights in the kitchen.
When the team was on site the property management was better, the grounds around the estate don’t get maintained, facing house has been left a mess/eye sore. Back garden is not the best grass uneven a fences fell straight down due to not being secured properly. House itself is ok, not amazing but not terrible. Feature we do like is the sky lights in the kitchen.

Overall very good
The design of the house it’s very nice as we expected. The rooms are quite big and with lot of space. Facilities are ok for the house! Building management we have some issues which we need to address because when it’s windy the house is moving, so we don’t know why!
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
I like that they are building a strain station next to our development area. It will be perfect if they’ll do a playgroung area for kids. Bin collections are ok, no delays. Traffic noise it’s fine! Maybe the area should be more checked by the police!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We need to have maybe a area for the kids to play, this all what is missing from here.
What is the best feature of your home:
The best feature of my home is the bedroom on the top!
Home
The design of our house is perfect, with a snug little living room for those cosy nights. A big, open plan kitchen with 3 skylights to let plenty of light in and a big garden perfect for hosting family events in the summer. The building and property management were all spot on never had any issues and site manager was always close by ensuring everything was okay.

Plenty of parks nearby which is great for kids and dog walkers, brand new train station just across the road due to open any time soon and a big Morrisons not even a 5 minute drive away, perfect location.

I Love my house and the street I live in is nice with nice neighbours, the only negative is the council houses at the end if my street.
It would have been better if they had bricked up the end of my street so it was not a through road

I would have got a professional company to lay my back lawn as it was poor when it was laid
