Quiet residential area. Lots of parking available. Good bus links for town centre.

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

Double check all doors/windows open and close properly at earliest chance. Taxis still need a bit of help getting into the development so make sure you know how to describe location!

What is the best feature of your home:

It sounds a bit daft but the kitchen. I moved from a one bed flat and here in the house I have room to cook and store things.

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

As this is a very new development there are no facilities such as shops etc. in place at present. Local bus services are a relatively short distance away. There are no services within the development as yet. Local refuse collection is in place. There are no parking problems and we have a quiet situation.

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

Out side water tap. There was a bath in the property which we had taken out and a shower put in instead at out own cost. It we had asked for this to be done before purchasing we could have saved ourselves this additional cost.

We chose a Bungalow as we wished to downsize to a single level property.
