After spending almost four decades in a large, detached house in Northampton, Jean Bulteel knew it was time to downsize and move closer to her family in Nottingham. At 78 and living alone, she was looking for a modern, manageable property that would still feel spacious and comfortable.
Finding the right home wasn’t easy, Jean had a clear vision of what she wanted, and it wasn’t just any bungalow that would do. Plot 6 at Olympia Reach caught her attention with its practical layout, energy-efficient heating system, solar panels, and built-in units. Despite never having heard of Peveril Homes, Jean decided to schedule a visit.
The welcoming and knowledgeable Sales Executives made a big impression, providing helpful advice and making sure Jean felt supported throughout the buying process. Even though she was unfamiliar with the area, their guidance made it easier to picture herself settling in. "They couldn’t have been more helpful," Jean recalls. "They took the time to explain everything and were so accommodating when arranging visits."
Once Jean saw the development for herself, she knew it was right. The small, secluded community offered a peaceful setting while still being conveniently located. With reliable bus services and shops nearby, plus a golf course just down the road, it ticked all the boxes for her lifestyle.
Now, just weeks after moving in, Jean is thrilled with her decision. The modern touches and attention to detail make her new bungalow a pleasure to live in. "The quality of the build is impressive, and I feel really at home here," she says. Jean’s satisfaction with both her new home and the Peveril Homes experience means she wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.
