Local investment
This is how much we're contributing to the local area
The couple moved from Ellie’s parents’ home after saving for their deposit. Ellie says: “We wanted a place to call our own, especially with a baby on the way. St Augustine’s Place was perfect - close to my mum’s house, modern, spacious, and just a short distance from the beach and town centre.”
Ellie and Connor instantly fell in love with the two bedroom Beaford house type. Ellie said: “The second bedroom is really spacious, and the garden gives us plenty of room for Axel to play in when he’s older. We also loved how energy-efficient the home is and that we could move in and make it our own straight away.”
The buying experience with Taylor Wimpey made a lasting impression. Ellie recalls: “The sales team, especially Lisa, were incredibly helpful and made the process seamless. Any issues we had were addressed quickly and efficiently.”
While there’s lots to love about living at St Augustine’s Place, Ellie and Connor are most enjoying the layout of their home and its fantastic location. Ellie says: “We love how spacious our new home is, and it’s such a lovely area. Our neighbours have been great, which has been an added bonus!”
Now fully settled, Ellie concludes: “Moving into our first home at St Augustine’s Place has been a dream come true for our little family!”

Local investment
A home is more than just a house, it’s also about the community that surrounds it. That’s why we’re invested in building communities that support local businesses, provide much needed facilities for the area and bring people together.
As part of our planning obligations for The Mill, and through an agreed Community Infrastructure Levy, we will be contributing over £2.3 million to Wealden District Council to support investment in local facilities and infrastructure. An S106 agreement is also in place for the development and we will contribute over £210,000 to local youth and adult recreational facilities and over £130,000 in bus transport services.
In addition, 35% of the homes provided will be designated as affordable housing for local people.
