LAUREN and Luke Symons-Clapp have been enjoying their first summer in their new home at The Heathfields, Redrow’s popular development in Monkton Heathfield on the outskirts of Taunton.

The couple moved into their brand new Letchworth home in mid-May, and have since been enjoying life within the new community at The Heathfields, a development which has proved popular with young couples, first time buyers and families alike.

Talking about how they first came to discover The Heathfields, Lauren said: “This time last year, we were living in Bridgwater and were looking to find a new area with more of a community feel. Our friends had recently moved to a Letchworth property in The Heathfields and when we went around to visit we were really struck by the area and the design of their home.

“We pretty much instantly decided to visit the Redrow sales team to find out more and, after gaining some more information and looking at a few different plots, we decided to shamelessly copy our friends and also move to a Letchworth home at The Heathfields!”

Commenting on what had first grabbed the couple’s attention, Luke explained: “The Letchworth appealed to us in many different ways. Firstly, it’s such a spacious three-bedroom home that we were a little surprised to find that it was within our budget – especially with the little luxuries like the en suite to the master bedroom.

“The house has a great balance of practical design and decorative touches. There’s nothing worse than hunting for a parking space when you come back from work, so the driveway and garage were a great selling-point for us.”

Lauren added: “For me, something as simple as the diamond window in the bathroom really shows how thoughtfully the home has been designed and makes our house feel quite special.”

The couple also benefited from Redrow’s Mastermove scheme, where the company liaises with local estate agents to agree a price for selling a buyer’s previous home. Luke said: “Choosing Mastermove helped us to sell our home in Bridgwater much more quickly and we were really happy with the price offered by the independent estate agents.”

Lauren added: “The scheme took all the hassle out of moving and was a really quick process. We chose our plot and said that we’d like to go ahead with the Mastermove scheme on a Monday and by Thursday the estate agents were visiting for valuations. Redrow appointed an agent and looked after the paperwork – making moving a really good experience for us. I really would recommend it to anyone.”

Lauren and Luke are now thoroughly settled into their home, along with their pet cat and Dalmatian-Collie mix dog. “We love the whole house,” said Lauren, “and we’ve enjoyed making the most of the bigger open plan kitchen this summer. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for some more good weather so that we can show off the house, and make the most of the sliding doors to our garden.”

The Heathfields offers a range of two and three-bedroom homes, including the three-bedroom Letchworth showhome that has now been released for sale at £254,995.
