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

Ashberry have a total disregard for local residents. They break planning rules and never get back to you. Cannot find a site manager every time we go on site. Even the council cannot get hold of them. They just don’t care.

I would have sold and left if I had know. This company have such a disregard for the community.

Don’t go anywhere near an Ashberry development. There is never a site manager available so who is supervising the build quality.

This area is easily accessible with train station (with plenty of parking), local shops, few pubs and town centre within walking distance. Even though it is close to the airport and (narrow) roads can busy during rush hours, the area is generally quiet with reliable bin collection and easy access to green open areas, Southend beach, sea life aquarium, Adventure island and theatres.

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

The location of the site is very good with easy access by road to nearby villages of Tutbury and Hilton and Burton on Trent and Derby (about 20 mins away). The area is served by 3 supermarkets in the villages with a larger range of shops around 4-5 miles away. There is a good road network to access local towns, the M1 and East Midlands airport. There are plenty of open spaces around the development and the Peak District National Park is not far. Hatton has a train station and a good bus service and the area caters well for everyday needs. There are several JI schools in the area and the development is within a 5 minute drive to doctors, dentist, optician and chemists. There are free car parking facilities in the village and an excellent rubbish collection service, operatives are friendly, prompt and tidy.

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

Because of Covid we could not view the site or the property beforehand and it wasn't until we moved in that we realised our furniture was not going to fit (even though we move from a 3 bed to a 4 bed house). With hindsight we wonder whether we should have chosen a house with a larger footprint and more space downstairs.

What is the best feature of your home:

The top floor bedroom sold the house and has provided useful and much needed storage space.
