Initially hesitant about new build properties, Trudy wasn’t looking to move to a large housing development when her home search began. “We were living in Cheshire and wanted to move back nearer to family,” she explains. “I wasn’t convinced about new builds – I’d heard horror stories and felt they lacked character. But all that changed when we stepped into the Haybarn 4 show home.”
Drawn in by a spontaneous visit after discovering Kingswood Homes online, Trudy and her family were won over by the high-quality build, unique layout options, and exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. “It was love at first sight. The view from the master bedroom sealed it for me. Within 12 weeks, we had completed and moved in – just in time for Christmas.”
Though initially interested in a bungalow, it was the Haybarn 4’s charm and thoughtful design that ultimately captured their hearts.
“Spinners Brook offered everything we were looking for: a peaceful village setting, easy access to a local pub, and commuter connections — all within reach of our extended family in Lancashire.” Trudy explains.
A standout feature of all Kingswood properties is the ability to choose flexible floor plans with their Shape Your Home concept. Although Trudy’s new home already included customisations, such as a dressing room in the master bedroom with sweeping views of the reservoir, it reflected the exact layout Trudy would have chosen herself. “It was a major selling point. The ability to choose your home’s layout really sets Kingswood apart. I absolutely love my dressing room and would have chosen that layout myself if it wasn’t already included.”
Throughout the process, Kingswood’s personal approach left a lasting impression.
“Moving house is always stressful, and doing it in just 12 weeks was no small feat,” says Trudy. “But Kingswood’s team were amazing. We were treated like people, not just another number. Even after we moved in, the site manager was incredibly helpful.”
Trudy’s experience reflects Kingswood Homes’ commitment to creating homes that are not only beautifully built but tailored to real lives. “Kingswood were great to work with – friendly, supportive, and truly attentive. They changed my perception of new builds completely.”
The quality of Kingswood’s homes has been consistently recognised at the highest level, with the company achieving the prestigious five-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for four consecutive years. With an impressive 97% rating for both recommendation and build quality – one of the highest scores in the North West – this achievement demonstrates Kingswood’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship.

The development showcases thoughtfully designed homes with premium finishes, surrounded by rolling countryside and reservoir views. With peaceful walks right on its doorstep and village amenities including a local pub, corner shop, and deli just around the corner, Spinners Brook provides an idyllic setting.
