Property Details

Properties at Millstone Walk are built to a modern specification, focusing heavily on energy efficiency and reduced running costs. Standard features across the new build homes include solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, high-performance triple glazing, smart heating controls, EV charging points, and wastewater heat recovery systems. These specifications surpass the energy performance of typical older properties in the area. Examples of available house types include the three-bedroom 'Eynsford' semi-detached home, which features a sociable open-plan ground floor layout, two allocated parking spaces, and a main bedroom with an en-suite shower room. A 10-year NHBC warranty is provided on all properties, alongside a two-year Taylor Wimpey warranty.

Taylor Wimpey, as one of the UK's largest homebuilders, operates with a 5-star customer satisfaction rating from the Home Builders Federation, reflecting that over 90% of customers would recommend them. It is important to note that independent reviews, while generally positive, are mixed, with some reporting concerns over workmanship and aftercare—a common factor among large volume builders.
