Two Generations Are Now Next Door Neighbours

Posted 11 May 2021 by Keith Osborne

Claire and Simon liked her parents' new home at Saxon Meadows so much that they ended up buying the one next door...

A couple from Market Harborough were delighted when they went from living two hours away from family, to moving in next door at Redrow’s Saxon Meadows.

When 45-year-old Claire Garbett and her husband Simon encouraged Claire’s parents to move from Norfolk to the Leicestershire town, they had no idea just how just close the move would be. After deciding to move to be nearer to family, Claire’s parents began looking for a bungalow in the area. Unable to find one to suit their needs, they set their sights on the three-bedroom ‘Amberley’ house type at Redrow’s Saxon Meadows development, in Market Harborough.

Having lived in the town themselves since 2015, Claire and Simon were delighted to be able to visit the parents’ new home, where they were immediately drawn to the four-bedroom ‘Cambridge’ next door.

Claire said: “We went to look around Saxon Meadows, to see where my parents would be living, and immediately fell in love with the property next door. We’d been discussing the possibility of moving already, as we felt we’d outgrown the home we were living in.

“We’d looked at a couple of different housebuilders, but Redrow’s build quality was by far the best, and the location has perfect proximity to both the town and countryside. The fact it was next door to my parents new home really was the cherry on the cake – from living two hours away to just two seconds really is a blessing.”

Claire and Simon’s home, the ‘Cambridge’, is a four-bedroom house type. Downstairs, there’s an open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, and at the front of the property is a separate lounge, a perfect space to relax and unwind. Upstairs, the master bedroom is complete with an en suite, and three further bedrooms mean that one can easily be used as an office, gym or wellness space.

Claire concluded: “From the minute we stepped foot into the sales office, the Redrow team were incredibly friendly, and the quality of the customer service matched the quality of their houses. Both myself and Simon, and my parents, love our new homes and all of us are thrilled to be living at Saxon Meadows.”

Saxon Meadows offers a choice of four-bedroom properties starting from £464,950. Located to the south-west of the town, the development is within easy reach of many independent shops and restaurants. The development also has great travel links and sits on the Midlands mainline, enabling residents to reach London St Pancras in less than an hour, Kettering in 10 minutes and Leicester in 12 minutes.
