A local woman has found her perfect "forever home" at Little Orchard, thanks to a timely tip from her husband and a community partnership between Baker Estates and the Tavistock Bowls Club.
Hilary Fielding, 78, had been looking to downsize and start a new chapter when her husband Ray, a keen member of the bowls club, mentioned a special incentive offered by local housebuilder Baker Estates. As part of their sponsorship of the club, Baker Estates were offering a £500 referral reward – £250 to the buyer and £250 to the club.
Curious, Hilary went online to explore Little Orchard, a new Baker Estates development in Tavistock. She was immediately drawn to the charming bungalow designs, particularly the Daisy house type. A visit to a show home at the company’s nearby Callington site made her mind up.
Although her plans were affected by Ray’s declining health and his subsequent move into a care home, Hilary continued with the move and has now settled into her new home after selling their previous property.
“The location is perfect – I can walk into town and there’s a bus stop very close,” Hilary said. “There are three supermarkets nearby, so I’m spoilt for choice. I’ve lived in and around Tavistock all my life, and it’s lovely that my five closest neighbours are all local too.”
“This really is my forever home – I absolutely love it. It’s a new start and Ray is happy that I have settled in. The open-plan layout suits me perfectly and I treated myself to all new furniture. I’ve even added plantation blinds – they look great! The garage is a good size, too. The only downside? The garden’s a bit too big! But I enjoy mowing the lawn now, so I shouldn’t complain.”
Hilary praised the Baker Estates team for their support throughout her move.
“From Karen the sales executive to the site team and Steve, the site manager, – everyone has been so cheery and helpful. I can’t recommend them enough.”
Little Orchard has proven popular with local buyers, offering a range of thoughtfully designed homes just minutes from Tavistock town centre.
