‘Plane Wonderful’ Home For Couple In Market Harborough
Dave Larder, a semi-retired joiner, and his wife Terry have moved into a new William Davis home at Market Harborough’s Wellington Place, which was named after the Wellington bombers based in the area in the Second World War.
The couple can now ‘take-off and fly’ anywhere in the world after Dave set-up an aircraft simulator in the spare bedroom.
After completing a flight over the Alps, Dave says: “I’ve been interested in planes since I was a boy and it’s wonderful to have a room where I can test my skills as a pilot.”

Terry adds: “We call this room The Cockpit. It’s got all the flight controls and you can take off from any airport in the world. The scenery is spectacular.” Next to The Cockpit is Terry’s home office for her work in natural healing, and downstairs they’ve created a music room.
Terry continues: “We love the space here – both inside and outside. There are lots of green areas and the houses are nicely spaced out. This is our first new build home and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone at William Davis has been so helpful and made it easy for us to settle in.”
The couple chose the four-bedroom Beamish after living in a nineteenth century converted school for 27 years. They have been so impressed with the company’s attention to detail and customer service that they believe it deserves even more than the maximum five stars awarded by the Home Builders Federation. The rating is based on the number of customers who would recommend the housebuilder to a friend. WhatHouse? Award-winning developer William Davis Homes has secured the top five-star status for seven years running.
At Wellington Place, nestled in beautiful rural surroundings, William Davis has a wonderful range of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, all beautifully designed inside and out. The housebuilder also has a number of special financial incentives available for a limited time at selected developments.
