Day Trip Inspires House Hunt For Essex Family
A family of four has made the move to David Wilson Homes’ Corinthian Place development in Burnham-on-Crouch after falling in love with its location.
After taking a day trip to the town last year, Cheryl and David Harrell decided that the area had everything they were looking for in a place to relocate with their two sons, Jake and Niall.
Cheryl, a helpdesk manager for Southend Hospital, said: “We went for a day out in Burnham-on-Crouch for Father’s Day last year and we all thought the area was wonderful, with friendly people and great scenery. There was a lot to do there and many of the surrounding schools were rated ‘Outstanding’, which was an added bonus.”
With their previous home being a large DIY project, the family were keen to make an easy move to a property which required no renovations when moving in.
David, a team leader at an energy company, said: “Our last home took eight years to complete so we wanted something that needed no work that we could move into straight away. We are sick of DIY so a new build home was perfect for us!”
When their plans to extend their former home when struggling to sell were rejected, the couple utilised David Wilson Homes’ Part Exchange scheme to enable them to make the lifestyle change they wanted by moving to Corinthian Place.
Cheryl continued: “We felt trapped in our old home when we couldn’t sell or extend so when we remembered that David Wilson Homes had a development in Burnham-on-Crouch we went to have a look and decided to use the Part Exchange scheme. It allowed us to get out of our situation and make the move we wanted to with no hassle involved.”
The family made the decision to buy a ‘Winstone’ house style at Corinthian Place after viewing one of the show homes at the development.
David added: “We fell in love with the ‘Winstone’ show home as it had everything we needed. The four large bedrooms and double garage mean we have plenty of space in the house as well as a lovely garden.
"Our whole experience of buying with David Wilson Homes was friendly and relaxed and we felt supported and well-informed every step of the way.”
There is currently a selection of two-, four- and five-bedroom properties available at Corinthian Place with prices starting from £281,995.
