The Lilies at Twyford was worth the wait for the Pluse family

The Pluses in their new home in Ruscombe near Twyford

Clare and Mark Pluse had been very happy living in their two bedroom terraced home in Charvil for the past five years. However with the arrival of their daughter Emma, now 15 months they realised they needed more space.

Comments Clare, “We were really happy with our home in Charvil. We had bought it from new and really liked the location. However with Emma arriving we realised we needed more space especially if we wanted friends and family to stay. We decided that we would wait to see if we saw something before putting our house on the market. During a drive one afternoon we noticed the coming soon signs for Banner Homes’ new development, The Lilies in Twyford near Reading and decided to look into it further.

“We are really keen on new build because of the low maintenance and quality of finish. We really liked the sound of the development and the location was perfect for us. Mark emailed Banner Homes for more information and we decided to go ahead and put our house on the market.

“We had a few nervous weeks waiting for the development to officially launch but Banner Homes were brilliant keeping in touch with us. We visited the show home on the launch weekend and fell in love with it. We particularly liked the high specification of the property, the finish and the attention to detail. The site manager came to see us on the Sunday and showed us the plot we were interested in. It was still at build stage but was identical to the layout of the show home so we were able to picture it. We put our offer in and it was accepted the following day.” Continues Clare.

“Twyford is an excellent location for us as it is walking distance to the station for Mark to get the train into London where he works as an IT consultant. I am also 15 minutes from work where I work as a research scientist. We have settled in extremely well and Emma loves her new home.”
