First time buyers settle down as Valley Park’s first residents
First time buyers, Davide Surdi (33), a Senior Brand Manager, and Federica Calza (34), a Quality Assurance Manager, are Valley Park’s first residents, having moved into their new Taylor Wimpey home in April 2025.
The couple had been renting a flat in Bracknell and wanted to get onto the property ladder. When asked why they chose a new-build home as their first home rather than a pre-owned one, Davide said: “We wanted a new-build because of the assurance of quality materials used, there’s less maintenance needed, and they have a more modern style.”
“We were looking for a place with good transport connections and a close link to the main motorways to commute to work. We also wanted to live in an area with lots of space and green scenery, as we love spending time trekking and cycling.”
After exploring other housebuilders in the area, Davide and Federica decided on Taylor Wimpey. Federica said: “Taylor Wimpey’s Valley Park was the perfect choice because of its combination of style, quality, price, location, and the friendly approach by the sales team.”

“We were looking for a three-bedroom property with a large garden to spend time outside. For that reason, we decided to choose the Eynsford house type as it was the perfect combination for style, space and location.”
When asked about the sales process, Davide said: “We were concerned at the beginning as purchasing our first home was a big step for us. However, everything moved incredibly fast and the sales team were very supportive. We were advised at every step and the customer experience was amazing. We were given a handbook that described every step in the purchasing timeline which made the whole process much clearer. Not only that, but we were also able to monitor the process on the Taylor Wimpey website, which was exciting and helped us to plan the move adequately.”
Now that they’ve settled in, Federica shared their favourite things about their new home and the local area: “We love our garden, it’s a brilliant space to spend time together and relax after a full day of work. The development is beautiful and even beyond our expectations. The area is lovely and the transportation connections are great, supermarkets are even closer than they were at our previous home. Didcot is also conveniently closer to Oxford, so we can explore more restaurants and other local amenities.
“Taylor Wimpey made this process as easy as possible, and the sales team made us enjoy the journey of becoming homeowners."

Janet, a Senior Sales Executive, has worked at Taylor Wimpey for over fifteen years across six developments, with further experience in the housebuilding industry having previously worked for Bryant Homes. She said: “It’s great to help people find their new home and to also see communities be built from the ground up."
Alex, a Senior Sales Executive at Taylor Wimpey with over ten years of experience across five developments, owns his own Taylor Wimpey home and mostly enjoys his role because it involves a lot of customer service and helping people find their dream home.
Similarly, Elysia, a Sales Executive, has eight years of experience with Taylor Wimpey across three developments and her favourite thing about her role is the opportunity to support customers through one of the biggest purchases of their lives.
While Janet’s preferred house type is the Trelton due to how spacious it is, Melissa, a Senior Sales Executive at Taylor Wimpey with over eight years of experience across four developments, recommends The Aynesdale for growing families and Donna, a Sales Executive at Taylor Wimpey for over 13 years across six developments, thinks The Hartdale is ideal for empty nesters.
Elysia would choose between The Harrton and Owlton house types, commenting: “I love the open plan layout of these house types and how Scandi it feels.”
“The homes at Valley Park feel open and spacious, with all the latest innovations in heating and triple glazing to keep the costs down,” Alex said when asked what features he likes the most about the homes available at Valley Park.
Donna agreed with him, commenting that the homes feel light and airy throughout. Melissa and Janet both appreciate the large windows that the homes have, with Janet adding: “This new community has a lovely selection of new styles and energy efficient homes.”
Having worked at Valley Park for some time, the team also shared what they like most about the area and why they would recommend the development to potential homebuyers looking to move to Didcot. Alex said: “Didcot is a great central location with the beautiful city of Oxford right on your doorstep. It’s also great value for money when compared to other nearby areas such as Reading and Newbury and for local workers and commuters, it has amazing connections to the A34, M4 and M40.”
Melissa and Janet both agreed with him on the development’s convenience for commuting, Melissa also pointed out the abundance of amenities that Dicot offers: “Didcot has everything you could need close by; a shopping area, many options for schools, and it’s also a short drive to surrounding village locations with lovely pubs and country walks.”

A home is more than just a house, it's also about the community that surrounds it. And that's why we invest in building communities that support local businesses, improve facilities in the area and help bring people together.
We had the honour of welcoming political leaders and officers from the Vale of White Horse District Council to Valley Park on Monday 2nd June. Discussions centred around the development’s progress, its significant impact on the local community, and the sustainable measures being implemented on site, including air source heat pumps, PV panels, EV chargers, and bee and bug hotels.
Aaron Wright, Senior Planning Manager at Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “We are delighted to have welcomed councillors and members of Vale of White Horse District Council to Valley Park. This development exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality homes that meet the diverse needs of the community and we look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have for the local people in Oxfordshire.”
Cllr Emily Smith, Vale of White Horse District Council’s Cabinet Member for Planning, said: “It’s good to see the progress on the modern, sustainably designed homes at Valley Park. I was pleased to learn that the homes on this phase are being built with an energy rating of A which will reduce running costs for the residents who are starting to move in.”
