Chestnut homeowner finds second home success at The Meadows

After six years together, Samuel Smith and Diane Baxter took the next step in their relationship – moving into their first home together with their families.

 

Sam, a project manager, and Diane, a Sister at a Lincolnshire hospital, found their perfect home at Chestnut Homes’ Dunholme development, The Meadows.

 

However, for Sam, this isn’t his first experience with a Chestnut home. He initially purchased a three-bedroom property at The Meadows, where his sons lived with him part-time until he met Diane and her daughter and son six years ago.

 

The family then decided to move under one roof, with Diane’s children moving to permanently reside in the home. Knowing they needed more space, the couple decided to upgrade to a four-bedroom home on the same development, staying close to family and the community they loved.

 

However, when two sales on Sam’s home fell through, their dream of moving in together hit a major hurdle. Determined to help make it a reality, Chestnut Homes stepped in and held their new property, giving Sam the time he needed to secure a sale.

 

Sharing why he chose to stay with Chestnut Homes, Sam said: “Both Diane and I are Lincoln born and bred, so staying near friends and family was important to us. I had a great experience with my first Chestnut home, and while we did explore other options, we kept coming back to The Meadows because it felt like home. The development is very family-friendly and although all our children are grown up, it’s a nice environment to be around.

 

“We were incredibly grateful to Chestnut Homes for holding our new property while I sorted issues with my sale, and without this, we would never have been able to move into our perfect family home together.”

 

For Sam and Diane, sticking with a new build felt like a benefit due to the brand-new appliances, the latest technology and the warranties included.

 

Sam explains: “With a new build you can be a part of the process by choosing the fixtures and fittings you like, and everything is completely brand-new with warranties, which is great for peace of mind. If you’re considering a new build, the quality of Chestnut Homes is second to none, and any small snags are resolved quickly.”

 

“The customer service has been fantastic from start to finish, including after we moved in. The quality of the homes, the sense of community, and the peace of mind that comes with a new build made the decision easy to stay with Chestnut Homes.”

 

Despite having just moved in, the couple is already feeling settled and are looking forward to enjoying the extra space this home has to offer.

 

Helene Key, Sales Manager at Chestnut Homes, said: “The Meadows in Dunholme is a great option for families, because it offers a mix of peaceful Lincolnshire countryside, while still being close to Lincoln’s vibrant city centre.

 

“We always aim to go above and beyond for our customers, helping them achieve their dream of finding the perfect home for their needs. We’re proud of the communities we’ve built across Lincolnshire and stories like Sam and Diane’s are a testament to that.

 

“They’ve chosen to stay with us not only because of the quality and care we put into each home, but because of the relationships we foster with people along their homebuying journey. We hope the couple and their children will continue to feel at home at The Meadows.”

 

Chestnut Homes offers a diverse selection of two to five-bedroom homes across desirable Lincolnshire locations including Boston, Coningsby, Dunholme, and Market Rasen. These developments are thoughtfully designed for various modern lifestyles from first-time buyers stepping onto the property ladder to expanding families and those seeking a comfortable downsize.
