The development possibly plans to expand into the adjacent field. This had provisionally been suggested as a school or similar

The best feature of the home is the environmental impact. The house’s inherent design helps to reduce water eg through tap aerators and stays very warm through the winter

Some snags with the house that you don’t notice when first move in. Make sure to keep note and report anything

It closes to local amenities, such as Tesco Express, butchers shop, barbershop, bars, post office etc. it feels safe even at nighttime.

Best to move in before the turf is laid so that you get a chance to clear out the rubble from the garden

What is the best feature of your home:

A south facing garden with plenty of sunlight. Just wish it’s more even.

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

Local shops & pubs are great. There’s lovely takeaways literally a stone throw away. I’m not sure about public transport as I don’t use it but usually see busses up and down the main road so seems okay. Parking is fine, every home has a parking spot. Bin collections are fine where I am. No traffic noise apart from if there’s ever an emergency vehicle. The anti-social behaviour seems to be calming down but we did have issues where people were breaking into the building site which was disappointing and scary

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

I wish we were allowed to look around the front and back before we agreed to purchase. We were informed we backed onto lots of greenery but we are backed onto a huge mess which is still to be sorted

What is the best feature of your home:

Unlike most new builds, I’ve found things are very sturdy. The door frames and walls etc.

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

The location of the area is perfect, excellent transport links to two major UK motorways. Our street is busy, often crowded with work vehicles. Bin collections have been problematic on numerous occasions due to road access.

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

You need to keep on top of your snags, it may seem like your nagging but things won’t get sorted if you don’t push!

What is the best feature of your home:

The house is a great build for energy saving, we have found it to retain heat excellently!
