Feedback

Walking into this bungalow felt like opening a new chapter. Everything was just right - modern, accessible and well thought out. It's been a revelation.
Diane

We really like Burnham and the surrounding area. We’ve never lived near the water before, so we enjoy spending time walking along the quay.
Carol & David

I don’t see it as a retirement village—more like a new community with different people and personalities coming together. I don’t look around and think everyone here is elderly or slowing down.
Graeme

I love it here. It’s the people who make the place, and each person brings something unique to the community.
Lisa

We're excited to see the development grow - not just in size, but in spirit. For us, this is home. And it's the right one.
Brian

Our new home has enhanced our lifestyle enormously. When we first walked into our new home...we felt a great sense of relief - we felt that were embarking on a new life together. We are looking forward to a community atmosphere building here and to be able to head out to the onsite shops, as well as the gym and other facilities. I don’t believe that there is another development anywhere that is capable of meeting the same standards as Burnham Waters.
Mr and Mrs Moon

The team have been so patient and understanding with my elderly parents. Although we haven’t been through a purchase yet we are hoping that will come. Nathan and his team have been accommodating, kind and very knowledgable throughout our dealings with them so far. Highly recommend.
Christina Sheilds

Having been met by Nathan we followed him onto the estate and was introduced to Jamie. His truly inspirational concept for a community development have left us wanting to be part of it. Loved the bungalow and once inside we able to see for ourselves the high spec and generous size rooms. Every aspect appears to have been thought about carefully and we are looking forward to seeing the 3 bedroom show home.
Mrs Moss

The home exceeded expectations. My wife and I appreciate how generous you were with your time with us. It’s a great, well thought out and designed development for the over 55’s.
Mr & Mrs Francis

Completely blown away with the spaciousness of the layout of the estate and the beautifully presented bungalow. I can’t thank you enough for the all the advice and information the team at the bungalow gave coupled with the help and genuine understanding and help with our particular issues.
