A New Chapter for Richard at Lily Street Farm
After nearly five decades living in Ripley, Richard Sharpe and his wife knew it was time for a move. They were seeking a home that would better accommodate them as they got older, something with level access, a brighter outlook, and easier access to local amenities.
“I wanted something that just worked for us at this stage in life,” Richard says. “The location, layout, and feel of the property had to be right, and that’s exactly what we found with Peveril.”
A Reputation That Preceded It
The decision to choose Peveril Homes was reinforced by personal connections. Two of Richard’s daughters already owned Peveril properties, and trusted friends who’d recently moved to Swanwick spoke highly of their own experience.
It wasn’t long before Richard discovered the same high standards for himself. Both Layla and Eileen, the on-site Sales Executives, played a central role in helping the Sharpes through the buying process. “They were both outstanding,” Richard recalls. “Their attention to detail and professionalism made a big difference. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked.”
A Home Built on Precision
What truly won Richard over was the quality of the property. As a retired engineer, he appreciated details others might miss:
- Flawless kitchen cupboard alignment
- Perfectly square door handle screws
- Exceptional painting and decorating finish
“This is our third new build, and it’s by far the best we’ve ever owned, even compared to so-called high-end homes,” he says.
A Development That Feels Right
Beyond the home itself, Lily Street Farm stood out for its layout, open spaces, and ease of access. “The wide, open feel as you enter the development is really appealing,” Richard notes. “You can tell a lot of thought went into the masterplan.”
No Hesitation in Recommending
Though they’ve only just moved in, Richard is full of praise for the experience and quality. “If someone’s looking for a new home, I wouldn’t hesitate to point them to Peveril,” he says. “It’s a rare thing to feel this supported during a purchase, and to end up with a home that exceeds expectations.”
