Good local facilities in the town which is about 15 minutes walk. Downside is the walk in to town is along a very busy main road with narrow pavements. Development is surrounded by beautiful countryside with plenty of local walking (and some very steep hills). The town is well served by supermarkets and excellent range of independent shops as well as a wide variety of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Various local clubs and societies to suit both adults and children as well as two excellent primary schools and a secondary school.

More transparency from the on-site sales team about the nature of the shared ownership homes on the site would have been helpful. On-site sales team should not make promises about build time/quality that is not in their gift to keep.

What is the best feature of your home:

The kitchen-dining room is lovely and a great place to relax looking out across the rear garden which is a good size for a new-build. The choice of having an internal door to the integral garage was excellent.

The quality of shops in Shaftesbury is very good, especially The Grosvenor Hotel. Travel to Gillingham to catch the train. Living on the street is lovely - great neighbours. Traffic noise will abate once all the building at Blackmore Down has been completed.

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

How long before the rest of the building site would be completed after move in date

What is the best feature of your home:

The design of the house, especially the sloping roof and bathroom window

The location of the development is perfect in my view. It is located very well to get to the closest town centre which has a good range of essential shops (supermarkets, health stores (boots, superdrug), cafes, WHsmiths, some clothing stores etc). It is also very well located for other larger towns/cities, the coast and areas of countryside and nature. Transport is fine, nearest train station 10 minutes drive which is fine for me as I am a driver. On the development itself, parking is very good as almost all houses have their own allocated parking spaces, although the odd one or two people still choose to park on the road. traffic noise is minimal, bin collections have been fine.

Double check that the pictures shown on line for your property are indeed what you will be getting. Photos of the kitchen on the website were in some parts different than what I got.

What is the best feature of your home:

the general layout of the house. in particular, the en suite, the large patio doors and the bathroom design
