Couple find the perfect location at Bryanston Holt

Carl Deacon (43), a Bathroom Showroom Manager, and his partner, Stephen Bell (42), a Manufacturing Team Member, had been living in Stephen’s two-bedroom terraced house in Trowbridge when they decided they wanted to purchase their first home together. Wanting to be closer to the coast, as well as family and friends, they found their ideal home at our Bryanston Holt development in Lower Bryanston.

Carl and Stephen
"We wanted a new-build home so that we could customise it to our preferences and enjoy the experience of being the first residents to live there together."

Carl said: “Our first impression of Bryanston Holt was excellent; the house specifications were exactly what we were looking for. We also liked that it’s a smaller development which offers a countryside feel while remaining conveniently close to a town centre with all necessary amenities.

“The show homes provided a great sense of what it would be like to live at Bryanston Holt. Additionally, the sales staff were extremely helpful and made us feel at ease immediately.”

The couple chose a two-bedroom Beaford house type for their new home. Carl said: “We loved the open-plan layout of the downstairs, the large "lootility" room, and the generously sized double bedrooms.”

To purchase their new home, Carl and Stephen used our Part Exchange scheme to assist with the sale of Stephen’s previous home. With Part Exchange, we will make you an offer on your existing home*, saving you money on estate agent fees and removing the risk of sales chain delays.

 
“The purchasing process was very easy from start to finish. Our questions were answered quickly, and we were kept updated throughout the entire journey. The Part Exchange scheme made the transition very simple, as it allowed us to stay in our previous home until the new one was completed, avoiding the need for a temporary rental or staying with family.”

Carl and Stephen moved into their new home in December 2025, Carl shared some of their favourite things about their home and the local area. He said: “We couldn’t be happier, the development is quiet, friendly, and feels very safe. 

“We are particularly impressed with the size of our family bathroom and the en suite. The house has a great flow, and we enjoy spending time in the garden.

“We would highly recommend Taylor Wimpey. They are an excellent company with helpful staff and fantastic build quality. We truly cannot fault the experience.”
