An Arvor - An idyllic place to settle

When relocating from Somerset back to Cornwall to enjoy their retirement, Lesley Hall-Wood and her husband John agreed that they would need a low maintenance home which fulfilled their requirements both now and in the future.

Starting their search in the quiet and picturesque location of Duporth, the couple couldn’t believe their luck when they came across Taylor Wimpey’s An Arvor development. An ideal retreat close to family and within easy access of everyday amenities, Lesley and John soon found a home that ticked all of their boxes and were settled in within a few weeks of starting their search.

Lesley said: “We had only just begun looking when we drove past Taylor Wimpey’s An Arvor development. Having previously lived in a George Wimpey home in Somerset, we knew the quality would be of a high standard so we decided to stop and take a look around. Seeing how close to the beach the development was, and how well it fit in with its idyllic surroundings, meant our decision to buy one of the stunning homes was soon made, and when we were shown around the Charleston style property, we immediately felt it was the right home for us.

“The Charleston’s interior design is wonderful and neither John nor I wish to change it. The house gives us ample room while letting in plenty of light, and it’s ideal for us as nothing needs to be done to improve it – giving us lots of time to pursue our hobbies and explore the area’s beautiful scenery. The décor is contemporary and, being a new build, there are no DIY mistakes to correct. The kitchen is big enough to entertain in, the garden is turfed and easy to maintain and, being situated just five minutes walk from a lovely beach, we can hear the ocean from our back garden, which is ideal for relaxing.”

The semi detached Charleston’s spacious kitchen boasts a dining area and the separate lounge has French doors to the rear garden. There is a cloakroom and storage cupboard, maximising space on the ground floor, while upstairs there are three large bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys en-suite facilities while a well-equipped family bathroom and further storage space completes the house.

Lesley continued: “Not only is our new home’s layout ideal for us, the development is only half an hour’s drive from Truro, making it easy to visit the indoor and farmers’ markets there. Our move was so easy-going and stress free, thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s sales consultants at An Arvor. They couldn’t do enough to help us and answered any questions we had, guiding us through the whole moving process. We were in our new home within weeks of looking around An Arvor which was perfect as we didn’t want to delay our relocation and retirement plans any longer.

“Our new home gives us all the space we want while also having all the added benefits of the development’s location, including stunning sea views and rural surroundings, to provide me with plenty of inspiration for my favourite hobby, writing poetry. Our lounge’s patio doors lead out into the garden, giving me somewhere to sit, soak in the atmosphere and write poetry while John relaxes and our dog Lily plays outside. We’re very happy here and can’t wait to start enjoying our new life at An Arvor.”
