Wensum Grange, NR21

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

Conveniently located on the edge of Fakenham, close to amenities. There’s no guest parking and there’s a wasted space at the start of the site. Also the charges for the management company are awful considering what they do

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

How much sun you receive in the garden/situation of the house

What is the best feature of your home:

It is a peaceful site, and the home itself is a brilliant size.

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

At Wensum grange we are located quite close to the bypass, but having said that it is still quiet and maintains a peaceful aspect while being close to amenities.

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

I wish we had knew about the lack of parking on the site

What is the best feature of your home:

We love our home, we feel that the size of the plot is the best feature.

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

Wensum Grange itself has lovely neighbours and is a quiet place to live. No loud cars, vandalism etc. Parking is fair and bin collections are on time and generous with collections. Bus routes are about 10-15 min walk. Fakenham itself always has lots on and is a friendly and diverse community. Childcare and schools are great.

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

Snagging Appointments are an utter pain and best to get as much done after purchase prior to moving in to reduce stress/cleaning and finding availability that works for you. Photograph everything and you will have to constantly chase them.

What is the best feature of your home:

Brick and flint house is beautiful and fits with tradional norfolk style

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

Wensum Grange is a fantastic place to live, while being close to amenities and a popular town it is also set back so you can still have the quiet and rural way of living. Everybody on the site is happy, and it has a real sense of community. The only thing that could be improved is the maintenance of the grounds from the shrubs when you enter, to the outskirts of the grass areas.

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

I wish that we would’ve known the direction of our garden. As we believe one of the main downfalls to our property is that the house itself blocks the sunlight. As well as not being able to access our garage from our property or garden - we have to go out of our gate onto our drive and so on.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of our home is that it is on a corner plot, and is detached. We feel we have a good size plot altogether and do not have the risk of disturbing our neighbours.

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

We are very close to the main Fakenham bypass making it easier to get about by car. We are also close enough to the town centre meaning we can leave the car at home and take a lovely stroll into town.

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

Very good. All issues dealt with promptly and efficiently.

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

The house didn't come with bins and they took over 3 weeks to be delivered therefore we had rubbish piling up in the garage. We didn't get to look around the house as much as we wanted due to covid so didn't get a totally feel of sizing etc. This was not to be helped.
