Lyndsey & Dean Phillips

We were looking for somewhere close to home and our families when we stumbled across Peveril Homes’ website. With it being our first time buying a home, settling close to our roots was something we’d both agreed on and Donna really made us feel welcome and like part of the family from the very beginning!

The couple stepped onto the property ladder for the first time after visiting Birches View and instantly fell in love with The Foston, a spacious, modern and elegant 3-bedroom home. After living apart previously, Lindsay and Dean had searched far and wide for the perfect property before deciding to become proud new residents at Birches View.

Nestled into the sweeping rural landscape of Derbyshire’s Amber Valley, Birches View is surrounded by outstanding views and is on the doorstep of the romantic ruins of its fifteenth century Manor House.

With beautiful hedgerows and countryside views, the development has been carefully designed to complement its stunning rural surroundings. Residents can enjoy the tranquil village of South Wingfield, with its Grade II listed parish church, primary school, cricket club and selection of local pubs and restaurants, all within walking distance.

Lindsay commented: “We were looking for somewhere close to home and our families when we stumbled across Peveril Homes’ website. With it being our first time buying a home, settling close to our roots was something we’d both agreed on and Donna really made us feel welcome and like part of the family from the very beginning!

“Our home is the only one at Birches View with this unique style, so naturally it really stood out to us! The actual development has 19 homes, so it’s a haven for Dean who loves the peaceful nature and atmosphere. The views are just incredible too!”

Moving into this home was an extremely pleasant process, with help from Donna. Lindsay added: “Donna was extremely helpful and made the entire process feel like a walk in the park! When we first got there, we didn’t have a clue what to do in terms of the interior and picking out themes for each room, but Donna was so helpful in putting some ideas together and giving us the inspiration we needed.

“We really did and still do feel like part of the Peveril Homes family!“

Lindsay and Dean’s spacious new build home features an extensive range of high-end fixtures including a professionally designed, modern kitchen, which comes with a full selection of energy-efficient fitted appliances.

Lindsay explained: “We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the bedrooms as they’re much bigger than the ones we saw in other new builds. Dean and I really love the style of our home, and the size is just right for us too, being first-time homeowners!

“The views from our dining room are absolutely stunning and the neighbours are all so lovely too. We occasionally see the builders out and about, and they always take the time to say hello and ask about our day, which is lovely!”

Moving into their new home was a truly positive experience that saw Lindsay and Dean quickly settling into life as first-time homeowners.

Lindsay said: “The move went brilliantly! Donna was absolutely fantastic, and we cannot thank her enough for taking us under her wing and helping us to find the perfect first home.

“The move itself would have otherwise been difficult if it hadn’t have been for Donna’s assistance, as we were preparing to part from everything that we had been used to for so many years. Now we’re settling into our forever home together and we couldn’t be happier!

“We’re so glad we chose to buy our home with Peveril Homes. The personal and thoughtful service has made our first home buying experience a dream and we would definitely recommend them.”
