Family finds their perfect village haven at Hartford Green development.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, a family has found peace and comfort in the leafy lanes and community spirit of Hartford Green.
Jacqueline and Brian Childs, 58 and 57, made their dream move to Hartford Green, nestled in the picturesque village of Great Bentley, with their two foster children, aged 16 and 15.
Retired nurse Jacqueline and transport supervisor Brian wanted to relocate in order to be closer to their own children, leading them to purchase a spacious four-bedroom Manford house that promises comfort, community and convenience.
Jacqueline said: "We moved from Chafford Hundred to Great Bentley to be closer to our own children. It wasn’t planned, however, we noticed plot one when we accidentally came across Hartford Green on our travel route around the local villages - it was love at first sight."
The choice was also influenced by the development's appealing location, its green spaces, children’s play areas, close proximity to great schools, as well as the train station which offers connection to Colchester and beyond.
Brian said: "We immediately fell for the village and the plot, both of which are the ideal size. From the beginning, it felt like we were exactly where we were meant to be. The big green space within a quiet location is what we enjoy most about living here.
“We mostly travel by car but the children make good use of the train station for getting out and about, which makes us feel that we have the best of both worlds."
Their new home, a four-bedroom Manford house type, was an ideal fit for the family's needs as it promised to be a tranquil haven for relaxation and family time.
Jacqueline said: “Our favourite feature of the spacious property is the back family room. It's somewhat private and, once everything is finished on site, it’s going to have a lovely view of a green space.”
Recognising the importance of financial incentives in facilitating a smooth transition, the family took advantage of schemes offered by Taylor Wimpey to secure their dream home.
Brian said: “The sales team helped us with both the sale and purchase by handling stamp duty and estate agent fees. Additionally, we participated in the assisted sale scheme, which served as an invaluable intermediary throughout our buying and selling process.”
This collaborative approach made the sale and purchase process more manageable enabling the family to be excited about their move. .
Jacqueline said: “Working with Taylor Wimpey to buy our home was an incredibly smooth process. They have been supportive and helpful from start to finish, which made us feel comfortable throughout.
“The team goes above and beyond too. When we mentioned that we needed an additional turning circle, they didn't hesitate to address our request. We are extremely pleased with how they've handled everything so far and could not recommend them enough to our friends and family.”
Hartford Green is located at Weeley Road, Great Bentley, Colchester, Essex, CO7 8PD. A selection of three and four-bedroom homes are currently on sale, including the Manford.
