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 estate is well designed with open spaces on our doorstep which are great for walks. The build quality of the houses is very good compared to the majority of other new build companies. The after sale customer service has gone downhill considerably since the sale to Vistry. You have to chase and chase multiple times before anything is done.

Generally happy with the house itself, it's a good design and well built, but some very odd/ridiculous build designs. Lights not cantered and we're unable to have a double switch for two lights in separate areas. The garden patio is tiny, too small for any furniture, and they've laid silly strips of grass down the sides of the house that doesn't get any sunlight so they're are now just rotten mud strips, maybe to save a few pounds on the cheap paving slabs they use?? We have had lots of snagging/defects that Countryside have resolved, and are still resolving 18 months after moving in. Surrounding houses are very close so we're overlooked on two sides. The landscaping around our area hasn't been touched for months and looks really untidy, but we're still being charged for maintenance????

House it self is well build Good quality materials and aesthetically pleasing Property management (land trust) is awful They charge £40 a month (throughout covid too) for doing hardly any work Have complained many times to customer service Had to get a new front door is it was allowing rain in Patio doors always drop so never close

The grounds around the area are very well kept and it has a really nice community feel. The properties have also been finished to a good standard. We have only been here for 6 months so we hope that the good service and property management continues for the foreseeable.

The overall building design and management is of a high standard. The housebuilding have been great in dealing with any snagging issues. The only draw back I have is that the soil in the back garden has more rocks in it than Adrian's wall. Otherwise I can't fault anything with the house.
