Thorne Meadows, PR3

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

Superb location within walking distance to all the village amenities. Large parking area within the development but not accessible from the road and too far from many houses so it tends to be unused

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

We would have liked to have all the snagging done before we moved in. The company would benefit from a higher standard of customer service. The gardens throughout the development all needed extra drainage and was a significant additional cost not expected with a new property.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love the location and spacious design. No doubting the value for money

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

The area is in a small village, that has local ameneties such as a small shop, butchers and pubs. It would be nice to have a play area for children on the estate. Parking for my street is fine. Bin collections are every Friday, although there have been occasions when this has not happened.

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

Would have been good to have recycling points and more bins on the estate.

What is the best feature of your home:

The location and privacy of the property. Large outdoor space.

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

Great Eccleston is a great place to live. For a village all the amenities that you require including 3 pubs. Best fish and chips for miles around. Bin collections are timely, no anti social behaviour.

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

There is a dyke at the bottom of the garden which was not made known to us. When having out garden landscaped we have lost at least 3 feet across the end of the garden.

What is the best feature of your home:

Insulation is very good. This is definitely having a benefit on heating costs.

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

What is the best feature of your home:

Best feature for me and my family is the patio doors and the downstairs toilet

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

The area is lovely, the only real problems I have are the relative isolation and lack of suitable public transport.

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

I bought the house on a shared ownership and was in a hurry to move in and short of money at the time but i wish i would have employed a snagging company

What is the best feature of your home:

The location is almost perfect and the development as a whole is set out nice.
