I looked at them on behalf of someone else a few years back. Few points:
- gardens are tiny
- If you are mid terrance, you have no side entrance (bikes, bins, gardening etc)
- The houses were laid out by a man!! Shocking lack of storage, no place for a drier (they came with a washer/drier, which is not very practical for a house that size as I assume you have some kids)
- No utility room for washing mucky boots
- there is a real "keeping up with the Jones" attitude from a good few of the people I've met from there (not all but enough to annoy me!!!)
- very little parking
- fair few are empty houses as he is finding them hard to sell and a number of people bought while their "other" house was being renovated in the hope of making a profit.....those were the days!!!
- I personally don't like alot of the decor and when you are paying that much money, I reckon you should have some choice of finish
On the plus side:
- soooo close to the park
- you'll pay alot less than you would have a few years ago (price is very much negotiable.....haggle, haggle)
- Great events & farmers markets at the affore mentioned Farmleigh House
