After a lengthy search, they discovered Taylor Wimpey’s St Augustine’s Place development in Herne Bay and found exactly what they were looking for.
Louise said: “I had my heart set on a new build property. Our old 3-bed house was expensive to heat, had no room for an office and everything needed to be replaced. As our son and his girlfriend both live with us, we really wanted the extra space.”
The family chose the four bedroom Manford house type. Louise says: “The layout of the ground floor is my favourite. I especially love the bay window in the lounge and the beautiful view from my home office but the whole family benefits from the open plan lounge through to the kitchen, which can be separated by double doors if needed. The four double bedrooms are also spacious and private, which is brilliant when you have older children living at home.”
All of the homes at St Augustine’s Place come with flooring included as standard which was ideal for Louise. She said: “We also chose our lovely carpets and flooring throughout, which provided a personal touch.”
Recognising the benefits of buying a new build home, Louise said: “Our new home is larger but it’s so much more energy efficient than our last. Even when it’s cold outside, we always feel warm and cosy as there are no draughts to cover up.”
The family took advantage of Taylor Wimpey’s Easymover scheme, through which Taylor Wimpey helped to secure a buyer for the family’s previous home. Louise explained: “The whole experience of buying with Taylor Wimpey was much less stressful than we’d experienced before. We picked the Manford home we wanted, signed up to the EasyMover scheme in August and we moved into our new home in December! The team even arranged viewings of our old house and liaised with our solicitors - nothing was too much trouble.”
“Our Sales Executives, Lisa and Emma, ensured our journey was smooth and kept everything on track while our Site Manager, Ash, helped us with any queries we had about the construction of our house.”
Now settled into their new home at St Augustine's Place, Louise and her family couldn't be happier. Louise concluded: “I know I’m biased but I think the development is beautiful and we have the most perfect house. Taylor Wimpey gave us so much support, they’ve been amazing throughout.”
