Peace of Mind and the Perfect Location
After deciding to step onto the property ladder together after renting for five years, Shaun Wakeham and Wendy Cookson were clear on two things: they wanted a new build home and to stay close to Yate with easy motorway access for commuting.
What they found exceeded expectations—a thoughtfully designed, high-quality home at Cotswold Homes’ King’s Meadow development in Falfield.
Shaun was adamant about avoiding the stress of renovation and home improvement. He said: “I didn’t want to come home from work and be faced with DIY projects,” he explained. For him and Wendy, a new build was the logical choice.
They began exploring various developments in the area, prioritising location, layout, and quality. After visiting a number of sites, they were underwhelmed—until they discovered King’s Meadow.
Why King’s Meadow Stood Out
Shaun recalls: “We looked at other developments in the area and were disappointed. Falfield was on our radar and we liked the look of King’s Meadow on the website, so we made an appointment to view. We are so glad we did.”
From their first visit, the couple knew they had found the one. “The semi-detached house was perfect for us—spacious, great layout, good size hallway, room sizes, the driveway, and overall quality of the build. It had everything we were looking for. We knew straight away this was it.”
They paid £415,000 for their new home, which includes a manageable garden that suits their lifestyle perfectly. “Friends have stayed over and they love it,” added Shaun.
A Seamless Buying Experience
The couple praised the Cotswold Homes team for making the process smooth and reassuring. Wendy highlighted the exceptional support from Su, the sales executive: “She was so helpful, very experienced, and reassuring throughout the whole period. We can’t praise her enough.”
