A stress-free purchase for couple at Oakley Gardens

Moving home and getting married are famously amongst the most stressful things in life, and so for Sam Curran and her fiancé James Warren combining the two was always going to be an eventful period. Luckily for the couple, Michael Shanly Homes were on hand to ensure that buying their new marital home was a breeze when they purchased a fantastic new four bedroom house at Oakley Gardens in Bray, Berkshire.

Sam and James had been looking for a new-build property in the area and settled on Oakley Gardens for its great location and high standard of design. Sam comments: “We had both been renting and looking to get back on the property ladder before we got married. Oakley Gardens suited us perfectly, the layout of the site, design and location were just ideal.”

Michael Shanly Homes’ Oakley Gardens is an attractive project of 12 individually designed four bedroom homes in the scenic town of Bray. The development boasts a high-quality specification and landscaped gardens all set within a quiet residential cul-de-sac.

Regarding the sales process, Sam adds: “We’d previously looked into a scheme with another developer as the completion date was more convenient for us, but we’d felt messed around by them and decided to pull out. There were no such problems at Oakley Gardens, Michael Shanly were great with us right from the start. You can tell they have a better quality of staff and pay more attention to their customer service. Stephania was our main point of contact throughout the sales process and Jim was the site manager who helped us through the process of snagging and preparing the house, both of them were fantastic”.

Sam and James were certainly grateful of the smooth running of their move as the engaged couple were able to move into their new house in mid-October, just over a fortnight before their big day. “We’re all set up now and the house looks fantastic ahead of the wedding. It’s a great relief knowing that everything is in place for us and we already feel very settled here.”

The project provides the perfect environment for young couples and families. Located in the exclusive, scenic town of Bray in Berkshire, residents find themselves surrounded by open countryside as well as on the banks of the River Thames. London is around 30 minutes away from nearby Maidenhead train station, Reading only 20 minutes away by car and Heathrow Airport is just 13 miles from the project.

Now that they have settled in, Sam is recognising more and more the advantages of a new Michael Shanly home. “The site as a whole looks fantastic now from the driveways to landscaped gardens, even little touches like the hanging garden baskets which have been added to exteriors bring something special to the site. It’s the small details that matter and Michael Shanly just seem to spend more time getting it right. It was also comforting to see their commitment to sustainability in some of the eco features included in our home”

Sales & Marketing Director Steven Pepper comments: “We’re delighted with the Oakley Gardens scheme and wish Sam and James all the best with their wedding and honeymoon, we hope they’ll be very happy together at here.”

Oakley Grange is just one of many high-quality schemes currently under development with Michael Shanly, including Kingswood in Surrey, Vista Apartments in High Wycombe and The Charterhouse in Battersea. The developer has operated throughout the South East since 1970 and is highly regarded for its commitment to design, customer service and sustainability.
