House-hunters, Karen and Reha Andac, discovered that buying their dream family home could be stress and hassle free thanks to the part exchange scheme on offer at Crest Nicholson’s St James Mead development in Badsey Village, near Evesham. Having been on the search for a new, bigger family home for a number of years, the Andac’s were thrilled to discover they could secure their ideal property without having the worry of securing a buyer for their own house.
Karen Andac, explained: “We’d used part exchange in the past but hadn’t really considered it this time around, as finding the right home for our family needs was the priority. We’ve got two children, a son who’s a 20 year old university student and a daughter who’s just about to start university herself, and with so many adults in the house we were really feeling the need for extra living space. I popped into St James Mead on the off chance and was really impressed with the five bedroom Trent house type. When I found out Crest could offer us part exchange, buying our house at market value, taking away the stress of being in a property chain and the expense of going through an estate agent, I knew it was meant to be!
Having lived in other new build homes before, the Andacs had overlooked St James Mead until recently. “I’m originally from the area and have lived here with my family for the last 15 years. Funnily enough our new house is even within walking distance of one of our past homes, but I hadn’t been to St James Mead until just a few months ago. We had been looking to move for quite a few years and had tended to look at developers other than Crest Nicholson because we were more familiar with them. As soon as I walked into the sales office at St James Mead, I knew what I’d been missing. We were blown away by the high quality and extra finishing touches, such as built-in appliances, that you get as standard with a Crest home.
The Andac family has moved into a five bedroom Trent house which boasts a large living room and wow-factor kitchen with a central island unit complete with integral cooker / hob. The house also has a separate dining room, utility room and study, not to mention a main bedroom suite and four further bedrooms, including an en-suite to bedroom two.
Karen, continued: “Our previous house really lacked space on the ground floor, so much so that when we wanted to eat as a family we had to pull the dining table out to accommodate us all. I really wanted a separate, good sized dining room when we moved, and I’ve got that and so much more. It’s amazing. We love the fact that we now have a number of reception rooms. It makes a real difference when you have a house full of adults, plus guests and friends popping in. I’m really looking forward to getting us all round the table for a big Christmas dinner.”
Nestled in the Cotswold countryside, St James Mead provides a mix of high quality three, four and five bedroom homes, which blend seamlessly with the existing architecture of Badsey village. The village itself offers rural living and country character, while its close proximity to Evesham gives homebuyers access to all the amenities they would expect from a bigger town.
