Lovely quiet area. Lots of park areas for those who have children or enjoy being outdoors. Walking distance from a range of shops and restaurants (Hornchurch town centre). 5mins walk from a London Underground station and a large Tesco. Allocated parking ensures you’re always able to park safely. Close proximity to a few local schools; both primary and secondary

Parking spaces aren’t necessarily allocated near your flat or entrance door. Having a new baby this has been quite inconvenient as there are parking spaces directly outside of my flat but these were allocated to people further away.

I am very pleased with where I live as the owner of the house. The house we live in is very close to the park, within walking distance of the metro, in a quiet nature, and we are also pleased that there are two shops for food shopping close to the house. but there is no shop to buy clothes, we have to go to the bazaar in it, unfortunately there are not many alternatives for clothes in that region by bus. My suggestion is that a few more shops should be opened in the name of clothes in the region.

The exact measurements and design of the property as Bellway were not allowed to give these to us due to them being owned by the architects. This is because we brought off plan.
