Testimonials

“From start to finish I couldn’t fault Stewart Milne Homes, they’ve gone above and beyond with so many things.”

“Wrea Brook Park flows quite nicely; whenever I pull into it, it feels like a nice place to come home to.”
It’s very new, but already it’s nicely laid out and attractive. The roads are wide, there’s plenty of parking for every house and everyone will have landscaped gardens. I had concerns about the fact that it would be a building site, but it’s not been an issue. The builders start and finish at reasonable times, and the guys on-site have been so lovely and friendly. They’ve sorted out any issues they can. From the builders, to the Site Manager, to the Sales Team and those above, everyone’s done a lot for me. I’m very happy to be here.

“I liked everything about this development instantly; it’s everything I could have dreamed of.”
I’m in the countryside surrounded by farmland, so it’s peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. That was important to me. There are plenty of walks and places to explore, like down the country lanes. There’s a pub down the road, convenience stores and a butcher all within walking distance. I can walk to work and it’s just ten to fifteen minutes to the M55 and the M6. For a bigger town, Preston is nearby. On the coast there’s nightlife with wine bars and restaurants, but then I can come home to a peaceful place where there’s not much traffic. It’s perfect for me.

“Once I knew what Stewart Milne Homes included in their build, they stood out a mile ahead of anyone else.”
They’ve added bits that I’ve never seen before, such as a laundry centre. I have a place to store the washing machine, dryer, ironing boards and other bits and pieces. They’ve added a worktop and an extractor fan, and it’s all hidden behind folding doors, so once they’re closed, you’d never know it was there. I thought it was a very clever use of space. I also have a walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom and a vanity unit in the bathroom, and it all comes as standard.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because I am more than happy with the house, I love the layout and the whole process has been made easier by Phil and the team at Stewart Milne.

“Spen View is a lovely, open, friendly estate.”


“A lot of new build estates have a claustrophobic feeling because the roads are narrow, and the houses are crammed in; Spen View doesn’t have that vibe.”
Here, there’s space. The houses are set back from the road, either with a parking space at the front, or a footpath and a little garden, and the landscaping is very nice. I don't feel overlooked. The way they’ve designed and situated the houses there's no one peering over the back fence. The development doesn't feel crowded at all.

“Congleton is a really nice area to live in with lovely countryside.”
With nice views and lots of places to walk, we have a local footpath running through the estate into the countryside. It will be nice to get some walks in the well-kept fields, farmland, and there's also a little wooded area.

“I work up and down the country, so it’s great that Spen View is in a central location.”
I’m close to the motorway, so having good access to the M6 means that one minute I can be in London and the next minute I can be in Glasgow. I’m also not that far from Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, and some nice parts of Cheshire.

“It was my first time buying a new build property.”
There was a change of sales staff when I bought, and Claire was absolutely fabulous. She showed me around and if I had any questions, I could just pick up the phone and ask. She always got back to me and was very accommodating. Later, the site team was very good too. When I moved in, I had a few issues and they got them sorted out pretty quickly – even with lockdown.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because they are really nice houses and they are quite spacious. They feel open, and out of all the house builders, that’s the reason I bought my home.

“A lot of new builds look the same, but because of the variety of styles of homes on Bayley Croft there’s a lot to choose from.”

“My home is nice, spacious, and warm, and the development is big and airy.”
There is a good amount of space between the different houses, so we aren’t on top of each other, and the roads are laid out with pavements either side, so you don’t feel too close to the road either. Situated on the outskirts of Nantwich it’s quiet, and it’s a great place for walking. Being mid-way between Manchester and Birmingham, it’s perfect for our commute as my partner and I travel in opposite directions.

“The teams have looked after me.”
Paul in sales was brilliant throughout. There was always someone I could get in touch with to ask questions and he was a good point of contact whenever I needed someone to talk to. They’ve also made the effort to make sure the snagging, which was minor, was rectified in a timely manner. I feel very happy and like I’ve been very well looked after.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
… because of the style of the houses and Paul was really exceptional. We looked at four different new builds and this was the most impressive in terms of style, layout, and the price you pay. This is the best value all round.

“They were clear on what I needed to do as a first-time buyer, so they made the process very easy.”

“If I hadn’t had the customer experience I had from them, I would have been very stressed.”
From Sales, to the Site Manager, to the Aftersales care, it’s all been very smooth. Paul was the person I dealt with most. He was really good and positive, and just a great person. When I called him on my day off, he returned my call. He was so personable, I felt like I made a friend.

“Bayley Croft is welcoming and pristine.”
When you drive onto the estate, it’s well presented. The homes are laid out in a way that makes living here feel private because you’re not overlooked, and it’s quiet. There are plans for a couple of little ponds and a play area, which will be nice for everyone. I also enjoy the friendly community here.

“The location is great.”
Situated in the nice, little village of Willaston, we’re not far from anything. The town centre is quite close. Just around the corner we have local shops, a chemist, a hairdresser, and a doctor. A larger supermarket is just a five-minute drive away, along with the vets.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the experience in itself was just excellent, from the day that I reserved the property to the day that I moved in.

‘Being able to choose things for my house was great. It gave my home more of a personal touch and I had what I liked without having to break the bank.’

‘The Stables is in a new, up and coming area, it’s a popular place to be and that was important to me.’
When it came to buying, I didn’t have any concerns. I bought in phase 4 and I’d seen a lot of the earlier phases being built so I knew about the construction. Although the development is pretty similar to other estates, I thought the homes in this area were good value for money and I’d also noticed that there weren’t a lot of houses up for sale, I think that’s a sign of how good an area is. I was interested to see that a lot of the environment around is currently being developed and I was keen to buy into an area early knowing the value would increase in time to come. Even though building work is currently in progress, disruption is kept to a minimum and it’s a pretty quiet place to be. There are plenty of walking paths around, along with farmland and as I’ve got a dog, that appealed to me. The Salt Line is a nice place to wander down where there are trails, a few nice pubs, independent restaurants and businesses.

‘The opportunity to customise a home isn’t something that every developer offers.’
I liked the way I could individualise my home and pick things like the kitchen units, bits in the bathroom and carpets. It meant my house felt like my home as soon as I moved in. I love the space in the kitchen and the large kitchen/diner is something that I’d not seen in other new houses. When my friend came to have a look at my house it sold itself, he was so impressed with what he saw that he instantly wanted one himself.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because the homes are value for money, the finish is good, and it’s been quite an easy process.

“Callenders Green is lovely and peaceful.”


“We’re in a small development set back from the main road, so it’s nice and quiet here.”
Everything is laid out nicely. They’ve kept the original features, like small trees and a green field, and we live opposite the field area with no one in front of us, so it’s lovely to look onto. The Cheshire railings they’ve installed in front of the houses and laurel bushes going down the main drive of each house down the street tie it all in nicely. We love relaxing in privacy in our back garden and enjoying it all.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because we liked the way the sales representative, Angela, helped us through the whole process. She knew how much we wanted to be here, and she talked us through any worries. She was a big help.

“The Stables is a very upmarket, quiet estate.”

“We moved from the countryside in Yorkshire, so it’s nice that we still have that countryside element at The Stables.”
We’re getting a lot more value for money here compared to where we used to live, and that’s a big thing. On top of that the town of Alsager has a lot more going for it. We have a town centre with local community shops. I love that there isn’t a build-up of nationwide shops you find everywhere. They’re small unit shops, so it has that old town feel about it. With local coffee shops, sandwich shops and a butcher, it’s really convenient and it has everything we need.

“You can tell it’s a quality build.”
We chose this development, as opposed to other estates around here, because of the way we felt about it after looking at the plan. It’s in its fourth and final phase and the housing is well planned in the way it’s laid out, so it looks very nice. We have a little three-year-old, so we’re looking forward to the play area they’ll be building between the houses.

“We moved during lockdown.”
I didn’t have any concerns about Stewart Milne Homes, but I did have concerns about the wider situation when we were moving in. Everything was okay going in, and although the house wasn’t able to be fully complete because of that situation, the Site Manager was in touch as soon as he could be and they have a plan in place, so I’ve had no worries from my side.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because it's been a pleasant experience. It's been our first time buying a property. They recommended services to us, such as the solicitor, so they made it a lot easier for us.

“The biggest thing about The Gardens at Crathes is the location, it is in the country, but still close to the city.”


“It doesn’t feel like it’s brand new; it feels established.”
The Gardens at Crathes is small, very well-designed and surrounded by mature trees. Compared to other modern housing developments, the houses are well spread out, so you don’t feel overlooked by others. The way it’s all positioned you feel like you’re part of a small community.

“It’s a high quality, luxury product.”
The houses are modern and very much aligned to our taste. The master bedroom and the kitchen were big selling points for us because we love the design. We also look forward to enjoying the really nice outdoor patio area.

“We moved in at a really strange time, just when lockdown started.”
The salespeople and the on-site construction guys have been great. They’re very friendly and helpful. Now that things are starting to get back to normality, the on-site people have been excellent in getting things sorted out. Although we haven’t had our snagging visit yet because lockdown started literally as we moved in, they’re communicating a plan for things to be looked at.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because of the balance of value versus quality and the features in the home.

“The Stables has a nice, friendly environment in a beautiful, semi-rural location.”


“The development has been four years in the making, and we can clearly see we’re close to the completion of it.”
It’s lovely and quiet here. There are farmers’ fields all around, and it’s beautiful with a lot of mature trees that they’ve incorporated as part of the design process. Stewart Milne Homes has been very helpful along the way and it’s nice to feel that a sense of neighbourhood has clearly developed with the people living here.

“The Stables been well managed.”
In terms of the different phases going on there have been clear instructions as the builders have started coming back on-site during the pandemic. We’ve been informed of when the work on our snagging list can be done safely for ourselves and the construction teams coming in. They’ve been very organised.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because of the customer service, the quality of the build and the positive interaction we had with a number of people in the company.

“Jubilee Walk is a homely place that’s becoming quite a good community thanks to what Stewart Milne Homes is building here.”


“It was my first time buying a home and I didn’t want to move into Aberdeen; being on the outskirts, this seemed like the right place.”

I like that we’re not right in the busy centre of Aberdeen. It’s quiet and rural, with nice views of beautiful scenery and forest walks right on the doorstep. Two of those walks are just five to ten minutes on foot from my house. The development isn’t completely built up with homes, and they’re looking to build seating areas, a pathway, and a school. From the plans I’ve seen there will also be green areas with bridges and play parks, so there’s something for everyone, from children to adults.

I’d definitely recommend Stewart Milne Homes…
…because when they were good, they were good. Any issues I had were sorted out straight away.
