Orchard Meadows is a real family affair

When Colin Bell moves into his brand new home at Orchard Meadows in Stanley it will bring his family closer in more ways than one as he will be living just one house away from his daughter Jennifer, who has purchased her own very first property at the Dunelm Homes development.

Colin originally visited the development to help Jennifer look for a new home when she was keen to take her first steps on the property ladder. When she found her perfect property in the 3-bedroom Ripon, Colin was so impressed with the house types on offer that he decided Orchard Meadows would also be the ideal location for his next home.

He said, “I had visited the development a while back when the first phase of properties were released for sale and it had stuck in mind as potentially being a good place to live. When Jennifer decided that the time was right for her to buy her first home, I had no hesitation in suggesting that she should take a look at Orchard Meadows and she certainly wasn’t disappointed. When we came to look at the development, it was very much with Jennifer’s needs in mind, but as we were looking around, we felt that it would be a great location for us both and she encouraged me to take a look at some of the other house styles for myself.”

Colin added, “Not only were Dunelm Homes able to help Jennifer buy her first property, but thanks to the part exchange scheme that they have on offer, they bought my existing home. Of course, this meant I didn’t need to worry about finding a buyer or getting caught up in a chain. It really took the stress out of moving and the sales advisor, Anne, offered plenty of help and advice to us both every step of the way.”

The 4-bedroom Arundel offers Colin practical yet stylish accommodation on the ground floor with a large kitchen dining area and a well proportioned lounge. Upstairs the four bedrooms – with an ensuite to the master bedroom – are bright and airy making the property an ideal choice for families.

Colin and Jennifer previously lived locally to Orchard Meadows and were keen to stay in the area as they both enjoy the close proximity that the development offers to the County Durham countryside and the shops and other facilities in Stanley. Good transport links make it easy to travel around the region and convenient access to the A1 allows for trips further afield.

Home buyers at Orchard Meadows can choose from the 2-bedroom Lincoln home which is a popular choice for first time buyers and the 3-bedroom Ripon and York properties which are ideal for professional couples and young families alike.
