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.

Terribly designed, can’t open bedroom doors if you put a bed in the room of the master suit (the bed only fits in the room one way). Radiators in living room , kitchen and third bedroom in worst place preventing from furniture going in the rooms comfortably. Kitchen dinner is too small for dining suit, kitchen is tiny. Persimmons agreed that the kitchen was unfit for purpose, taken 5 months for them to fit new kitchen and 6 weeks on they’ve still not finished it, the replacement kitchen is terrible. To get anything done, repaired, put right is a fight, they either don’t reply to emails or book people to come without checking when your available first! Been to professional kitchen companies who’ve all advised me the kitchen dimensions are not suitable to put in standard units, so on a new house to put right is a nightmare. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you to avoid Persimmons. Nothing is simple here, NO-ONE replies to you, they’re complaints process doesn’t even get replied to you. PERSIMMONS! THE COMPANY THAT JUST DO NOT CARE!

I personally think the development design is great. When you look down a street you will see different coloured houses (brick colour, painted etc) different sized houses, different shaped houses even down to the angle of the road meaning houses don’t all look in a line, it makes the whole estate look nice and varied. In terms of facilities there is currently one park which is a nice size and great for children, with others planned to be built. The shop area is due to be completed soon and we have a school on our doorstep. Our moving in process felt very organised, we did have some snagging which was promptly completed. We did have a small slow leak at one point and someone from the site came out and fixed this within hours of us reporting.

I like variety of different houses, there design with trees and paths makes it feel an open space to live. Some of the roads are quite narrow which when residents park on the road it can make it difficult to get past at times. There is a local Facebook group which is a great way of sharing issues or positives within community

Lovely mix of different style houses. Houses are made so there’s as much living space as possible. Builders were always really helpful. The ladies at the office couldn’t do enough for us. Would buy a property again.

Since moving here a year ago, I have grown to love it here even more. The development is attractive, the town of Towcester is pretty and easily accessible for groceries and a coffee or a meal out. The development is a good base for MK, Stony Stratford Buckingham which are places I often visit. You can't hear the traffic, only from Silverstone races occasionally. The green areas around the site are pretty and the park areas are great for children. The house itself is great, no major issues. Management resolved any snags quickly. Friendly team in the office. Jo and Jayne were so helpful throughout the purchase. Carmen in Customer Care has been super efficient and always pleasant to deal with. Wish there were more facilities on site but just have to be patient. It's noisy at times from building work, and very dusty, but it's to be expected and I've gotten used to it now!
