A Newport couple have purchased their first home together at Lovell Homes’ popular Locke Gardens development in Glan Llyn, Llanwern.
Zuzana Moldova, 31, and Samuel Harris, 29, along with their daughter Eira and dog Phoebe, recently made the move to a four-bedroom, semi-detached Ombersley style home set across three floors. The move marks Samuel’s first home as he had previously been renting, and Zuzana’s second.
Samuel, a HGV driver, said: “We both worked hard leading up to the purchase of our new Lovell home and pooled all our resources into it. Zuzana’s last house was an older property, so we were drawn to a new build as we just didn’t have the time or energy for another renovation with our busy lives.
“The location of Locke Gardens was perfect for us. We lived near the area previously before there was an option to move to Glan Llyn. There were lots of reasons that we were drawn to the area, with lots of green space especially in Glan Llyn park, so it was perfect for our family. As for the development itself, Lovell Homes had a style of property that we fell in love with.”
The Ombersley is a four-bedroom home which features a living room, cloakroom, two storage cupboards and combined kitchen and family dining room on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor and a large main bedroom, complete with an en suite, on the second floor.
Zuzanna, working as a Transport Clerk, commented: “We were blown away by the design of the home, in particular the large kitchen that expands half of the ground floor, it’s a spacious and family orientated design, and the natural light that flows in really adds to the appeal.
“We love the three-storey layout. The two double bedrooms on the first floor give us plenty of space, and the smaller third room for us has been perfect for storage, but for a larger family would be ideal for a younger child or a baby.
“The final bedroom on the top floor is such a lovely space to come home and rest in at the end of the day”.
“The purchasing and moving process was also something we appreciated. Any issues on Lovell Homes’ end were rectified honestly and quickly. They made us feel respected, not like we were just another sale.”
The family have now had time to settle into their new home and become acquainted with the local area and community.
Samuel commented: “The local area is expanding and has everything we need, including a local retail park and a nearby park. It feels like we have been welcomed into an exclusive community and we really like our local area and neighbours.”
Zuzanna added: “We love coming home to the family, in a safe area and safe space.”
Locke Gardens is situated on the former Llanwern steelworks, and consists of a stylish collection of 286 two, three and four-bedroom homes.
