The Quinn family are delighted with their move to Oakapple Place
For Elaine Quinn (52) and her husband Gregory (58) moving to Oakapple Place was about more than just finding a new home - it was about creating a better future for their 10-year-old son, Frederick.Originally from Farnham, Surrey, Elaine and family relocated to Kent to be closer to relatives and to be within easy reach of well-regarded grammar schools for Frederick.
Elaine shares: “We were drawn to Oakapple Place because of its beautiful setting. It’s been thoughtfully landscaped and it’s lovely that there are so many trees and bridleways nearby. Compared to other new build developments, the homes at Oakapple Place stood out as being more characterful which really appealed to us.”
The Quinns were particularly impressed by the layout of the four bedroom Rossdale housetype. Elaine says: “The Rossdale was perfect for us. The flow of the rooms is fantastic. The large kitchen and lounge give us plenty of space, and the bonus utility area adds real practicality. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the design as efficient and flexible as possible.”
Opting for a new build was an easy decision for the family. Elaine explains: “We loved the idea of moving into a clean, modern home with brand new kitchens and bathrooms. The energy efficiency was a huge selling point for us too, and we were excited to make the space our own.”
Though the purchasing process came with some challenges, Elaine was also impressed with the excellent support from the Taylor Wimpey team throughout the buying process. She says: "While the process was stressful at times, the team was fantastic and supported us every step of the way.”
Now that they’ve settled in, the Quinns are thrilled with their decision to move to Oakapple Place. Elaine says: “We adore the development. Since moving in October 2024, we’re starting to feel a real sense of belonging. The design of our house, the green spaces on the development, and the friendly Taylor Wimpey team have all reinforced that we made the right choice.”
Elaine also praises the aftersales service and quality management. She says: “It’s been outstanding. The standards of Taylor Wimpey are becoming clearer to us every day, and that’s something we truly value.”

Residents celebrate the opening of three play areas
We are celebrating the opening of new play areas at three of our developments in Kent.The play areas, located at Oakapple Place in Barming, Wellington Paddocks in Deal and St Augustine’s Place in Herne Bay, have all been named by residents who were invited to a special event to mark their openings.
Anna Lee, a resident at St Augustine’s Place, named ‘Primrose Park’, ‘Paddocks Park’ was the winning suggestion by Jordan and Annabelle Moores of Wellington Paddocks and ‘Little Apples’ was the name put forward for Oakapple Place by Rebecca Morin.
Jordan and Annabelle Moores, said: "It’s exciting to have played a part in naming the new play area. We chose ‘Paddocks Park’ because we felt it was a memorable and fitting name, and we can’t wait to see families enjoying it."
Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey South East, said: “We are thrilled to officially open these new play areas, which have been designed with children and families in mind. It was wonderful to invite residents to get involved in the naming process, and we hope that residents, and the wider community, will enjoy using the space, getting outdoors and having fun for years to come!”

A dream come true: Living at Oakapple Place
In search of a quieter neighbourhood, and an easier commute, Oakapple Place was the perfect location for Bella and her toy poodle cross, Mr Pickles. She said: "As I work in Barming, I had been looking at several new developments in the area but nothing offered everything I was looking for. When I came across Oakapple Place I was instantly drawn to the area's peacefulness and knew it was where I wanted to live.”
Bella fell in love with the four bedroom Trusdale house type. With a garage and utility room, it ticked off everything on her wish list. Bella said: "I love the large living area and open plan kitchen diner; it’s perfect for hosting as I can prepare a meal while socialising with family and friends. Having a separate utility room is a real luxury too and it’s great for extra storage.
“The self-contained main bedroom and en-suite is my favourite space, perfect to relax and unwind. One of my best decisions has been to convert the spare room into a gym as I can now conveniently fit in my workouts within the comfort of my home.”
Navigating the buying process was a breeze for Bella, thanks to the guidance and support provided by the sales team. Bella said: “The process of buying with Taylor Wimpey was easy. The team guided me throughout the entire process, made it clear what was needed at each step and were always on hand to answer my questions.”
Now settled into her new home at Oakapple Place, Bella enjoys the community feel of the development. She said: "I really enjoy taking leisurely walks with Mr Pickles around the neighbourhood; it has become a cherished part of my daily routine. Oakapple Place truly feels like home.”
