A Darlington couple have chosen to keep things close to home as they move up the property ladder. Three years on from buying their two-bed ‘Ely’ at West Park Garden Village, home-movers Holly Walton and Jonny Walker have again purchased a property at the desirable new build development with Esh’s private housebuilding division, Homes by Esh.
The couple are now settling into their second home on the development, a three-bedroom ‘Larch’ house type, after once again benefiting from the value for money and high quality by design specification.
Despite the widely publicised hike in interest rates, the decision to move was an easy one for Holly and Jonny, with the couple able to take advantage Part Exchange and Mortgage Subsidy Schemes, which contributes a sizeable £250 a month towards their mortgage payments for two years.
West Park Garden Village is a superb collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, part of an award-winning redevelopment project spanning 49 hectares in Darlington. Alongside stunning residential areas, West Park Garden Village also boasts green spaces like West Park Nature Reserve – the first new park in Darlington in 100 years.
When asked why they chose to remain at West Park, Holly said: “We just love the area. It’s nice and quiet, and our dog can walk around the green areas quite happily.”
Jonny added: “We both still consider it to be very central for everything we need. We have shops nearby, and it’s less than a 10-minute drive to the town centre.”
Deputy Managing Director at Homes by Esh, Colin Willetts, commented: “The happiness of our residents is always our number one priority, so I’m thrilled that Holly and Jonny chose to remain part of the Homes by Esh community. The Larch is a wonderful property, and I hope it serves them well as they continue to enjoy life at West Park.
“We are committed to offering solutions that enable buyers like Holly and Jonny to make the move to well-built, intelligently designed and energy efficient homes that meet their changing needs.”
The pair were particularly quick to sing the praises of Senior Sales Executive Laura Hale. Holly said: “From our first meeting, everything felt right. Laura was really helpful.” She continues, “We couldn’t recommend her enough. She was so considerate… we kept in contact with her throughout and we were always accommodated if we wanted to see the progress on the house or discuss anything.”
