The Hedgerows is perfectly located for us. We love spending time in Chesterfield, exploring its bars and restaurants. We really can’t recommend this development – and Forge – enough.
There’s real attention to detail which I appreciate, for example the bins have their own wooden unit around them, hiding them from view. It’s things like that which really make a difference – you can tell everything has been considered from the point of view of the people living in the house.
We’ve just celebrated our first year of living here and we’re incredibly settled. The area is great – perfect to bring up Remi with schools and everything we need close by. We’re also surrounded by beautiful walks and Tesco is a ten-minute drive away. The neighbours are lovely – our next-door neighbour is a window cleaner which is very handy!
This week we’ll celebrate Remi’s first birthday and we can’t wait to do that here in our forever home, where we can continue to make lots of happy memories.
Not only that – the build quality is exceptional – everything is fantastic and the attention to detail is clear. I love the detail on the exterior of my home, which has some of the bricks turned by 90 degrees and raised. I love how all the homes are different, they all have their own individuality, and the layout has been intelligently considered – you can tell that it’s all been well planned and thought through.
I absolutely love living here – I wake up and lie in bed looking out of the huge window which overlooks the hills and it’s idyllic. The views are exceptional – even my dog Maggy nudges the curtains open – she’s got quite accustomed to the beautiful landscape too! I love that my fixtures and fittings are all black – it makes such a difference – it’s incredibly stylish and has given me a new lease of life for interiors.
Working from home used to stress me out, but now I favour it – I’ve made the third bedroom into an office but popped a sofa bed in there for flexibility too – it’s perfect. I’ve barely been here a month but travelling back to Hertfordshire last week I realised that – despite living there all my life – it didn’t feel like home. I came back here and felt like I was home – I felt like that from the first day of being here.
The neighbours are wonderful. I’ve had offers from people to watch Maggy for me if I’m out, and someone recommending a blind company. It’s just got a lovely feel that’s quite unique and I think that’s partly because we’re all new – we’re all in the same boat, settling in and making new friends. it’s a great atmosphere.
The village is lovely – in fact, in the excitement to get here I forgot Maggie’s dog lead and my mum, who was visiting, had forgotten her device which helps her put on her socks! I bought both from the village – if that’s not convenient, I don’t know what is!
I could not be happier with my Forge home, and can’t praise them enough for their exceptional customer service – I have felt valued every step of the way. They are authentic, caring people and it made the entire experience a happy one. I can’t wait to live here for many years to come.
