Jo and Paddy, both 36, bought a four bedroom detached house at The Thatchams, Priors Green, Little Canfield, Essex.
Jo Thompson comments: “When Paddy and I found out that we were expecting, we realised that we had to move quickly as we didn’t have an extra bedroom for the new baby. We visited The Thatchams and instantly fell in love with our new house. We were concerned about not being able to move in time for the arrival of our baby, but the Home Exchange Service really made things easy, as it meant we didn’t have to deal with the hassle of selling our old house and were guaranteed a move in date. The whole process took around nine weeks from when we paid the deposit until we were able to move in, which was absolutely fantastic.”
By using Countryside Properties’ Home Exchange Service, the couple, along with children, Aiden (5) and Holly (2), were able to move in with three weeks to spare before the arrival of baby Emily.
“The development is great for the kids as they have friends of a similar age living nearby who they can play with. They each now have their own generously sized bedrooms which they can grow into, and we have turned the dining room into a playroom for now until the children are older.”
The Thatchams is set in the development of Priors Green on the outskirts of the popular village of Little Canfield. Two, three and four bedroom traditionally designed houses are set behind tree-lined avenues and the development is fronted by two new village ponds. Priors Green is ideally situated a short distance from the M11, M25 and the A120. Stansted Airport is easily accessible and the rail network connects with London Liverpool Street in approximately 45 minutes.
