Three generations of family move onto Kingwell Rise
Taylor Wimpey’s Kingwell Rise development in Wincanton is getting ready to celebrate as the third generation of the Gaster family is set to arrive in the next couple of weeks.
Elaine and David Gaster moved onto the development last year when they fell in love with its brilliant location. A year later, their son and daughter in law moved onto the development and they are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby Gaster.
Elaine, who moved to the development last year, said she was really happy with their new home; “I absolutely loved the location of the development. I was living in the heart of the country before and I had to drive everywhere. Now everything is on my doorstep, I’m walking a lot more which is saving me a lot of money in petrol.
“We were looking to downsize and the sales consultant showed us round the Sherston property and it was exactly what we were looking for. When my son came to visit our new house he started to think about moving onto the development as well. I was absolutely overjoyed when they told me they brought a house round the corner. Now we can we can help out when the baby arrives. I am so excited.”
Hollie and Paul Gaster moved into a three bedroom Scotney house back in June in preparation for their new arrival. They were drawn to the development by the variety of schemes designed for first time buyers.
Hollie explains: “We were originally renting, but with a baby on the way we wanted to settle down and buy our own home, but like most couples, we were struggling to save for a deposit. We thought Taylor Wimpey’s shared equity schemes were fantastic and helped us a lot with purchasing our house. We couldn’t have moved without it.
“We wanted to move to a nice local area, and with Paul’s mum and dad on the development, the move was an easy choice to make. It will make our life so much easier knowing they are just around the corner when our baby arrives.”
