Leaf Living at The Gateway, TN40

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

Our property has a great location for the new link road to Hastings as well as quick access to Bexhill Town centre and Ravenside shopping area. Having a large private drive is ideal and a decent amount of space for visitors parking too. So far, the ongoing building work doesn't effect us and nose is of a minimum.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

We have had suitable encouragement to report on any issues we discover with our property.

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

We were unaware there wouldn't be any bins when we arrived so are without until the council deliver them which could take some time.

Shops and amenities are within walking distance, or the bus stops are just outside the development if required. We have space for 2 cars and EV charging, with no traffic noise as we live in a cul-de-sac.

Ryan was excellent, start to Finnish, he answered all our queries, and was very understanding when our 2 year old did what toddlers do. 5*

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

Rooms are bigger than first thought from initial viewings. Not much places for toiletries in the bathrooms, so bathroom units are essential, if you have a large family. The homes hold the heating very well being a new build and it's great having all your appliances hidden, looks very sleek.

Bexhill is a lovely area, especially for families. The development is around 15 mins walk to a retail park worry supermarkets, a swimming pool, home and clothes shops etc. There is an open space within the development with a park and sports pitches. The beach is around 15mins walk and bars and restaurants are a slightly longer walk or a few minutes drive.

The viewing process was very laid-back. I would just advise the neighbour to check that everything is working in the house.
