Great new development

The layout of the estate is nice and it’s not too big, the green in the centre is lovely and in the summer is full of children playing. The trim trail /play area’s are fab (been slow to open but are now open) the management of the building is brilliant and always had any issues attended to quickly.

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

The estate is situated between Winchester and Eastleigh, so access to lots of areas. The village had a co-op and post office along with a pub, takeaway and drs/dentist. The estate it’s self has a nice open green in the centre along with play area sections around the edges along with a woodland walk. There is plenty of parking and I have not had any issues living on my road. There are children outplaying on the green but personally not experienced any issues.

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

Great area to be in with lots of facilities - lovely quiet area, never been disturbed!

What is the best feature of your home:

Lounge/ kitchen lovely open space and view outside of window onto green is an added bonus!

Well managed and engineered only had one issue which was then solved swiftly without any further problems. Apart from this the design and quality is up to a high standard. The gardens could of been designed a bit better as we have small dips in our grass.

Property is nice size. Good to have downstairs toilet too. However the walls are all plasterboard and when my coat rack fell off it came to my attention that it was put up without using correct fixings which makes me worry about the rest of the house if something so simple wasn’t done properly. My stair skirting is all cracked and coming away from the stairs. And the front door eye piece gets too much moisture inside to be able to see out. I have already had to have my front door handle fixed too. Garden is a slope too which creates problems for my children. It could have been levelled out.

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

Local shop is awful, never had any stock always looks like it’s about to close down. Transport to Winchester is awful one bus an hour which is almost guaranteed to be late. Parking spaces aren’t marked with numbers so I struggle to park in my own spaces, with 2 young children this is very infuriating. Neighbours park out the front of my house so that’s never an option either. Where my house is the bins are a struggle to get in and out too. Young children seem to roam around the estate causing various problems. I get lots of rubbish out the front of my house too.

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

That you would have to drive to go anywhere really.

What is the best feature of your home:

Nice size rooms, having a downstairs toilet, having a garden

Generally happy.

The development has looked tatty for quite some time and is obviously work in progress but the playground areas have been abandoned and the grass frequently needs cutting. We have listed our snags to Taylor Wimpey but only a few of the problems were resolved after various emails being sent and received. We love the area and are happy with the location and the house itself.

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

We are very happy with local shops and services. We could use a petrol station nearer. We find it quiet where we are and have had no issues with neighbours.

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

I wish we knew about the park area right outside our front door.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love the top floor of our town house. The garden is also a good size.

Lovely development especially with the woodland walk now, perfect size as it’s not too big and overwhelmed with too many people. Lots of nice walks around the estate want the woodland walk and the big green in the middle. Would be nice if the green was changed into a pond

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

Lovely quiet area, nice designs, but anti social behaviour needs dealing with

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

Wish I had known the amount of housing association tenants as the behaviour from the tenants is awful

What is the best feature of your home:

Location is ideal as lots of amenities nearby and quiet around here too
