Milestones, NR14

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

Really convenient location, only 10 mins out of the city and with regular buses. There’s all the amenities we need, shops, a pub, restaurants etc. Parking on the estate is great and our neighbours are lovely. No problems.

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

By the time we moved in the post code we had been given for the months leading up to completion had been changed, without letting us know! This was rather frustrating.

What is the best feature of your home:

The open plan downstairs living area was the selling point for us! So spacious and light, great for socialising.

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

Local shops within walking distance. Woodland area within walking distance. Easy to get into the city of you have a car, otherwise there is a regular bus. Only downside is availability of a bus late at night back from the city. Living on my street is very pleasant, never had any problems.

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

Do your research on heat pumps!

What is the best feature of your home:

The internal decor / fixtures / fittings are all very well thought out, would suit any taste.

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

On a main bus service to Norwich and within walking distance of schools ,shops and pub. Regular bin collections . Good parking and no problems with anti-social behaviour .G

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

The garden was mainly heavy clay and stones, so I would recommend anyone employ a professional gardener to develop it ,as I did.

What is the best feature of your home:

Well thought out with modern energy efficient facilities

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

Poringland has a range of amenities in walkable distance; convenience shops, pubs, range of takeaways, hardware store, post office, library/community centre, large park. I don’t use public transport, but can see regular buses in use. We are very close to Norwich and the A47 to easily allow commute out of the area. It is surrounded by countryside. There are plenty of public footpaths to walk and run in the immediate area. The estate is quiet itself, with friendly neighbours, but our property is on the main road front in/out of the village, so the traffic is continuous and being on the edge of the village and its 30 mph limit, cars tend to speed/ accelerate past our house, which is noisy.

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

There were no nasty surprises.

What is the best feature of your home:

The space in the rooms throughout the house is rare in new builds, making this property stand out. We like the uniqueness of the Zinc and light crated by the large windows.
