Warboys, PE28

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

A bakers, two shops one with post office which is also really useful for banking, two pubs, sports and social club, numerous social activities such as netball and football teams, bowls and much more. Walks around the village or straight onto fields as short or long as you would like to make them. A variety of play parks for little ones and a library. Religious places of interest too. Good primary school and bus to the local good secondary school and other towns. The great community feel is lovely but if you want to be left alone that’s fine too.

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

How quick it is to travel to Huntingdon - train travel is only an hour to London and it’s only about 10mins by car to the station. Also conveniently placed for A1 / A14. Seaside also only about an hour away.

What is the best feature of your home:

Plot size for a new development. But also house design - the houses are much bigger than they look on the internet.

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

There is plenty of parking here. The local area offers two pubs, a social club, post office, two garages, hairdressers and a couple of shops. Public transport is fairly poor with just a few buses each day. There are a few problem areas particularly by the social housing with a lot of shouting and arguments plus cars been driven far too fast.

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

Make sure you look thoroughly round your new house to check for snags because it's easy to be blinded by the newness of it.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

I would make the fourth bedroom a double as well so that all our children could have decent sized rooms.

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

The house design is lovely. We have more than enough space living and bedroom space for our family. There are a few minor areas that we have altered ourselves as feel little finishing touches were missed, such as tiling in the kitchen area, a second light on the landing (Holden design), a light above shower cubicle in main bathroom, useable patio area which we have had extended. The road layout and design is extremely poor. There are a number of straight sections where inconsiderate drivers can reach speeds that are in excess of the max limit and outright dangerous. A vehicle has already lost control on a corner due to speed, colliding with the kerb stone and damaging it, narrowly avoiding a collision with a row of terrace houses. This was reported to David Wilson and the concerns for speed brought up a number of times since early 2018 with no revisions made to layout, and it’s only got worse as the development completed and phase 2 was added. This is a big disappointment and the fear of a serious accident is imminent.

Nothing

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

Some minor attention to little detail such as tiled areas, light positioning.

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

There is a local Spar, bakery, pub and chip shop which are all handy to have in walking distance. Lots of good dog walks and a decent park nearby. We have had no issues living in the village.

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

The aspects and the views from each house vary greatly across the development. A viewing of a specific property would be required to see what kind of outlook you have, how much sun you get or how overlooked your garden may feel.

What is the best feature of your home:

Plenty of storage or space for added storage for a newbuild.

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

Parking on our street is excellent, bin collections reliable, there is some excessive traffic noise from other people in the estate which is disappointing.

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

Join the estate Facebook group, it’s been really helpful and good way to get to know neighbours/get advice.

What is the best feature of your home:

View of the communal space lovely and we love the house layout for our family.
