Easy access to London and the national motorway network ensures the economic prosperity of the East Midlands, UK. A dedicated airport also serves to connect this central region to Europe and the world, with key cities Leicester and Nottingham also providing financial stimulus and good value options for housing. The county of Derbyshire includes much of the Peak District National Park, while culinary highlights from this corner of England include Red Leicester and Stilton cheeses. Manufacturing industries form a significant chunk of the local economy, and Rolls Royce recently invested £90 million in a new test facility in Derby.
A nice place to live
Open spaces are excellent – good use of space with outdoor gym and play areas for children. Walking distance to amenities in the village. Good road and rail links from Sileby make it attractive place to live and commute from. Most roads have adequate off road parking in the development and the overall road layout is well thought through. It’s a quiet location with the only passing traffic from residents. The downside is that on the way in the old farmhouse has not been sold/re-developed and is a bit of an eyesore, otherwise a good place to live.
Please review your development:
An appealing development with good build quality. Excellent and responsive post sales support. Impressed with the attention and maintenance of the landscaping and surrounding areas. Use of space in my property is well thought through, although my plans originally showed a back door into my car porch which was never installed.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Some of the social housing residents have been problematic. They have now left but did cause a few issues in the past year.
What is the best feature of your home:
Utilisation of space and low cost to run the house.
