Istvan Bors and Timea Antal are settling into their new home at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia’s Barham Meadows development, and they couldn’t be happier with their decision. After considering various properties, the couple chose a new build to avoid the stress of hidden issues and costly renovations.
“We initially looked at second-hand homes, but many had hidden problems or would require expensive renovations,” said Istvan. “After speaking with Rachael from Taylor Wimpey, we knew Barham Meadows was the perfect place for us. The location is ideal, close to Ipswich yet in a peaceful village setting.”
The couple, who moved from a rental property in Ipswich, opted for the Eynesford house type, a spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home. Timea explained, “We needed a home office, a guest bedroom, and our own bedroom. The Eynesford provided all of that, plus extra space we didn’t know we needed.”
Since moving in, Istvan and Timea have been impressed by the quality of their new home. “The heating efficiency is fantastic. We no longer need to use as much energy to stay warm, and the underfloor heating downstairs is a great touch,” said Istvan. Timea added, “The water pressure in the en-suite shower is amazing, and the instant hot water is such a convenience. The EV charger was a great bonus too.”
The couple also appreciates the modern, practical features of the home, such as the efficient ventilation system, which maintains humidity levels and prevents mould. Timea added, “The large kitchen and spacious layout make it a comfortable, practical space for us.”
Though the development is still in its early stages, the couple is already enjoying the quiet, welcoming community. “The neighbours are lovely, and we’re excited to see the development grow,” said Istvan.
Reflecting on their buying experience, Timea said, “The whole process was flawless. The sales team was incredibly helpful, and we felt supported every step of the way. We were especially impressed by the aftercare service – Sarah Cooke and Rachael Hamilton have been fantastic.”
For Istvan and Timea, choosing Taylor Wimpey was an easy decision, especially after hearing positive feedback from friends who had bought homes with the builder. “We couldn’t be happier with the quality of our home and the customer service we’ve received. We’d absolutely recommend Taylor Wimpey to others.”
