Couple Find Dream Home At Dereham Development

Scarlett and James Richardson had spent three years carefully renovating a bungalow, which they thought they’d call home for a while. However, during a seasonal visit to friends and family, they walked past Orbit Homes’ Mill View development and were immediately impressed with what they saw, so decided to take a closer look.

James explains: “Moving hadn’t really been on our minds, but during that visit we both commented how nice it would be to be closer to family. After all the time and effort we’d put into making our bungalow the home we wanted, we knew we’d only move again for something we both really loved. We also wanted something we could move straight into; neither us fancied taking on another project. 

“The Sandhurst at Mill View immediately caught our eye - from the internal layout, kitchen specification, bay window, and simple things like each of the bathrooms having a window, it was exactly what we wanted. We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the fact the development was more spacious than some other new build sites so our hearts were set. Plus, Orbit Homes offered extra touches such as integrated appliances, flooring and a fully turfed garden as standard, things that aren’t usually included or come at an extra cost with some other developers. We also enjoyed the fact we could choose all our fixtures and fittings without having to do the work installing them ourselves.”

Scarlett and James also praised the team for their support throughout, as Scarlett adds: “From the sales team to the site foreman and manager and sales director, everyone couldn’t have been more helpful. We were regularly updated on the progress of the build, and the sales team were really supportive with the contract exchange process. Even after the purchase of the property the team are still contactable to seek advice and support. We were made to feel like their only customer and nothing was ever too much trouble.

“Being close to family, our lovely neighbours, we’re within walking distance to the town centre and ease of access onto the main road – to get to and from work in the city. We’ve received nothing but positive feedback and compliments from everyone who visits us, especially on the size of the garden. In fact, my sister and brother-in-law were so impressed they’re also looking at houses at Mill View. For anyone thinking about buying a new build, especially with Orbit Homes, we’d say ‘go for it’, you’ll get assurance on the quality of workmanship, and if you get in early enough, you can choose your plot and the fixtures and fittings, you don’t have to live with a previous owner’s interior tastes. Plus, everything is new and generally comes with a warranty, our property came with Bosch integrated appliances as standard – including a washing machine. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend an Orbit Home to family and friends!”

Mill View is located less than a mile from Dereham High Street which offers a number of independent shops and restaurants.

The development offers a collection of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom houses, and is ideal for those looking to take their first step on to the property ladder, upsize their family home or downsize now their families have grown up. Each home features Orbit Homes’ signature all-inclusive specification which includes flooring, appliances and turf. Prices at the development start from £220,000.
