Fuller's Grove, OX12

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

It is a very nice rural area but close to Wantage which is a beautiful, small town with all the shops you need. There is brilliant parking availability as we have 2 parking spaces and there is roadside parking if needed.

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

There was great communication, so we knew what to expect.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love the kitchen space with a large bay window, making it feel very bright and open. We also love our garden which is a lot bigger than we expected.

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

Fullers Grove is situated in East Challow within walking distance of the lovely market town Wantage. The facilities in East Challow are limited for the growing population but Wantage is only a short distance offering a good range of pubs, restaurants and shops. The development sits close to the Letcombes and the Ridgeway offering fantastic countryside and walks from your doorstep

If I did it again I would instruct a professional snagging company.

What is the best feature of your home:

Good overall design making the most of the space both indoors and out.

The village could benefit from a local shop being built. saying that we are only a 5 minute drive away from town which has all the shops you would need to get your basic essentials. Parking is really good in my area, bins have always been collected on time or atleast the next day. Seen as we are quite close to the main road I would say I barely hear any traffic, maybe on the odd occasion. Buses do come through the village but as I don’t use them I wouldn’t know much about them for none drivers but I’m sure timetables can be found on the internet. Local school and park close by too with a massive field to play sports.

I wish I’d got to see how lovely it was before moving in then I could of stopped overthinking.

What is the best feature of your home:

I love everything about my house. It’s got so many cupboards for storage. Thinking of turning the storage cupboard in the kitchen into a pantry type room.

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

The village itself is beautiful & it is a 25 minute walk into wantage where there are plenty of shops, pubs & restaurants. Unfortunately the village itself no longer has a pub or shop, so it does mean a drive if you need to pop out for bread or milk! Parking is ample but the estate itself is not yet finished so this could change. Bin collections are as planned with the exception of the brown bin that often gets missed. The real let down is the traffic noise in the estate - as they haven’t finished the raised parts of the road to prevent this, the speeds and noises of the various loud exhausted cars in the estate really are disappointing.

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

How long the estate would be being built for. We have lived here 18 months now and still have the noise of roadsweepers and builders constantly.

What is the best feature of your home:

Large, open family kitchen. Also the wide entrance hall and generous downstairs cloakroom.

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

The local area is fantastic. We’re far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but we’re close enough when we need to go there. Our village needs a shop desperately. The estate that we live on does need an area for children to play as there is only one park in the village. As for living in our street, it’s good to be fair. As you’d expect on any estate, there’s the odd few that you wish were living elsewhere.

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

We weren’t allowed to view the home in the first place due to Covid. Had we had done some research on other peoples experiences with living in a Crest Nicholson home, we quite possibly would have opted to live somewhere else in the area.

What is the best feature of your home:

The improvements we have made ourselves inside the home and in the garden.
