Exmouth Couple Create Their Dream Garden
Mark Matthews-Stroud and his wife Tracey purchased their home at Taylor Wimpey’s Buckingham Heights development in November 2020. The couple have since enjoyed making the home their perfect space, adding their own stamp to the property and the garden.
Mark and Tracey chose a three-bedroom ‘Easedale’ housetype with an open plan kitchen-diner, spacious living room and en-suite bathroom. In preparation for their first summer in their new home, the couple were keen to personalise their garden. Over the course of a long weekend, Mark and Tracey managed to take their garden from a blank canvas to suiting their personalities perfectly – just in time for warmer weather.
Mark said: “Tracey and I moved from my two-bed flat as we really wanted a bigger property that we could truly make our own, and we’re delighted with the progress we’ve made on the home since we got the keys late last year. Quite quickly, we got the house itself to our liking but were left wondering what to do with the garden.
Mark and Tracey’s garden before and after
“We decided to take a long weekend and perfect the area after having the top area paved. We added small stones and bark throughout the garden and completed the space with some gorgeous furniture and lights as well as the obvious pots and plants.”
Tracey added: “As the garden is quite a small space, we managed to perfect it in such a short amount of time, and we’re so pleased that we can sit outside in the garden with a drink in the evenings now that the nights are getting warmer and lighter.”
Melissa Langton, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “It’s so good to hear about our happy customers and we’re delighted that Mark and Tracey are enjoying life in their new home. Now that summer is approaching, creating an inviting outdoor space is becoming a priority to many. We’ve noticed a number of our customers keen on a smaller, lower-maintenance garden – a number of our homes feature cosier outdoor spaces that can be finished with decking or bark meaning there’s minimal upkeep.
“With our gardens being so easy to adapt to a variety of tastes, many of our homes are an ideal choice for buyers who want the perfect space without a great deal of effort. Our sales teams are always happy to help with any queries, so do get in touch for more information or to book a viewing.”
