After five house moves in two years, Hilary and Martin Wildbur were ready to settle down. They had sold the family home of 30 years – a period thatch cottage outside Yeovil – and then spent time in rentals, a new build as well as over six months renovating a house in France.
But now, the couple in their early 70s, are putting down roots having bought a four-bedroom detached home costing £685,000 at Spring Meadows in Fontmell Magna, Dorset.
Hilary, a former head teacher, commented: “You could say we’ve been on a long journey to find our next home and we really feel this is perfect for us. We had our eye on this house at the launch of Spring Meadows but couldn’t proceed at the time due to a variety of reasons. But a few months later things changed, and we came back and reserved.
“Our home is beautifully decorated, has lots of space and a lovely outlook onto the surrounding fields. We have very friendly neighbours and it’s a small, exclusive development which feels just right.”
Martin, having spent over 30 years in the army, added: “We know the area and have family close by so it’s a great location for us. We have been very impressed with the build quality from Pennyfarthing Homes and they are such a good company to deal with. It was one of the big plus factors of buying from an established local, family housebuilder.”
Sheetal Smith, Pennyfarthing Homes’ Sales and Marketing Director, added: “We are finding that Spring Meadows is appealing to a wide range of buyers from downsizers who have local connections, to growing families and young couples who love the countryside lifestyle it offers. We are encouraging prospective buyers to book an appointment with our associated estate agents Connells, and take a tour of the development before they are all sold.”
Spring Meadows is an exclusive range of 30 two, three and four bedroom semi-detached and detached homes in a natural setting. Spring Meadows is selling fast with only three homes remaining.
Prices start from £252,000.
