There's a large selection of supermarkets all within around 10-15 minutes by car. The development is next to a farmer's field to the rear with sheep and cows. There's a bus stop on the main road by the development. Traffic noise is minimal although I can hear/smell the pet food shop when outside and there is a breeze.

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

New builds are more noisy than an older building, you'll hear fans whirring for ventilation etc but it becomes less noticable over time.

What is the best feature of your home:

The eco friendly features! Triple Glazing, Solar and EV Charging included as standard is a great addition.

Absolutely no good points to this site now. There's more social housing than privately owned homes now (not initially planned that way when we bought our home, very misleading). The site management is a joke, couldn't organise snags to be completed or even bother to show up on days they said they would. Every property seems to flood with the slightest bit of rain and Northstone don't want to hear about it. Almost 2 years living here and Northstone still haven't tarmacked the roads fully, they seem to dig everything back up a month later as things don't work again. The drains are still full of site rubbish and weeds, the list is endless of negative points. I which there was something nice to say as we live here but at the moment there's really nothing nice about this site.

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

How awful Northstone are at building houses and how much they lied to all their customers at the beginning as to how much of the site would be social housing (more social housing than privately owned now).

What is the best feature of your home:

The main road out off the estate!!! honestly we cant state what it is because there's nothing we like about our home now.

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

The estate is peaceful and serene with good access to the motorway which is particularly important. Public transport is easily accessible making it an ideal location.

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

Not sure this is a really tough question. I would probably say make sure you test everything when you move in e.g showers/electrical equipment to ensure it works fine.

What is the best feature of your home:

There are several features we are really happy with in particular the bathrooms and location of these, kitchen storage and the size of the garden shed.

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

There is good parking for resident as each house has allocated parking space. It is a quiet area and has a good mix of green area and convenience. Bin collections are however a bit mix bit this may be because it is a new build area.

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

Temporary blinds for the large windows would be useful - may wish to take some measurements in earlier appointment so that you can get some temporary light blockers after you move in

What is the best feature of your home:

High ceilings and big windows, together with air vent on the window

Living in Airie for 5 months its close location to M6 very convenient with commuters. Haven’t explored local shops and facilities yet but it looks like large options available around the area. The roads within the development are wide and specious, and not packed with parked with vehicles like most of the other new developments around the area. Maybe due to the fact that each house has at least 2 car parks. Over all its located in a quiet area and with good access to the town and motorway.

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

Good community of professionals living in Airie. Nice green space within the development and great safe area for walks outside the development. Newly moved to Bolton still confused with bin collection and mail delivery issues, not sure why Royal Mail is poor in here.

What is the best feature of your home:

Parking space, full of light, high ceiling, spacious rooms, link design.
