New Homes Week – The Story of Aimee and Alex
As part of New Homes Week 2025, we are excited to share the story of one of our happy homeowners. Join us as we talk to Aimee and Alex, who bought their first home at The Grange, Wakefield, in December 2024. From the initial house search to settling into their new home, let’s find out all about their journey to living in a Stonebridge home.
Why did you choose a Stonebridge home?
When we began our search, we knew a new build was the way to go. The exterior and interior of a Stonebridge home immediately caught our eye. Unlike many new builds, it had character which we absolutely loved.
What were your first impressions when you walked into your new home?
We were so excited when we first walked into our new home. It was an incredible feeling to see our vision come to life, with every choice we made perfectly in place. The attention to detail and the quality of the finishes exceeded our expectations, making the entire experience even more rewarding. It felt like our dream home had become a reality.
What features of the house stood out to you the most?
Our favourite feature of the house is without a doubt the kitchen, as it is the heart of our home. Although Stonebridge offer a really good specification, especially compared to other house builders we looked at, we decided to treat ourselves and upgraded a few of our appliances, as we intend to be here for a long while.
How was your experience with the buying process?
The buying process was smooth, with Sharon, our sales adviser, always available to answer any questions we had. Everything felt easy, and they kept us informed of all progress, which we greatly appreciated. Their communication and support made the entire experience relatively stress-free and enjoyable.
Any information from them was clear and the team were always approachable whenever we had questions. We couldn’t fault them in any way.
The aftercare has been really good too with site and customer service teams being very helpful, no issue is too small. They’ve done everything they could to ensure a smooth move in process.
Tell us about the design and layout of your new home?
We’ve bought a Newport which has an open plan kitchen/diner, a good size lounge, two double bedrooms, one with an en suite, a single bedroom and a main bathroom. We’re happy with both the layout and design. As we mentioned previously it’s great to see our new home come to life. The layout of the house make it feel super spacious which is great.
So far, our living experience has been really positive. We’ve had a few minor snagging issues, which is obviously to be expected, but the builders have been excellent at addressing them quickly and efficiently.
What do you enjoy most about living here?
We aren’t originally from Wakefield, so we’ve loved experiencing a new city, exploring the local area and discovering hidden gems close to the development. It’s been exciting to uncover new spots and attractions that make this place special.
Our neighbours have been incredibly friendly and welcoming and the sense of community here has made settling in really easy and enjoyable.
