A BERKSHIRE family of four have recently made the move to a Cadleigh home at Croft Gardens, David Wilson Homes’ development in Reading and are enjoying the practical layout of their new home.

For Matthew (45), a Company Director, and Stephanie (36), a Basketball Development Coach, the four bedroom property in Spencers Wood was the perfect place for them and their two children, Josh (10) and Noah (7), to establish a new home.

Wanting to upsize, the couple looked at the new build properties available at Croft Gardens in order to avoid any DIY when moving in.

With a contemporary layout to accommodate their growing family, the Cadleigh style home made the couple sure that they had found the right property for them.

About the features of their new home, Matthew said: “It has an open-plan design which gives the house a lovely spacious feel to it. The bedrooms are all a great size with fitted wardrobes and an en suite in the master bedroom, which was a real luxury for us.

“We use the extra room downstairs as a study and the large garage has been really useful for storage.

“The property is finished to a really high standard and we love what has been chosen for the carpets and

kitchen.”

Living in a Cadleigh style property has also brought other benefits for the family. David Wilson Homes endeavours to build sustainable and energy efficient homes which enable residents to save money while being more environmentally friendly.

Matthew and Stephanie have noticed real differences in their energy usage due to this aspect of their home’s design.

They said: “Our new home is so much more energy efficient than our previous one. We have upsized yet our utility bills have nearly halved!

“The house is always lovely and warm and rarely needs the heating on. Water heats up really quickly so we have also reduced the amount of water we use.”

David Wilson Homes’ efforts have not gone unnoticed, with the developer being given the 2017 Gold Award for the fourth year in a row as the top national housebuilder in the NextGeneration Sustainability benchmark.

The rural location of their new home has been another benefit for the couple. Located in the sought-after village of Spencers Wood, Croft Gardens gives its residents the opportunity to make the most of countryside living while keeping town and city conveniences within easy reach.

Stephanie said: “We really like the area. It’s close to some lovely country lane walks and there is a park with a play area just around the corner.

“It’s walking distance away from the local sports centre and the shop, and there is a garden centre, church, café and library nearby.

“Croft Gardens is also on a bus route which regularly goes to Reading and Wokingham which is really useful when we need to travel further afield.”
