Peter and Ferhan had been living in Swindon, but as time passed, they found themselves yearning for a change. The hustle and bustle of town life had lost its charm, and they began to dream of a home in the countryside where they could enjoy peace, tranquillity, and the beauty of nature.

“Living in the town was convenient, but we missed the open spaces and the connection to nature and we both enjoy hill walking,” said Peter.

The Coggins started their search with a clear vision: they wanted a home that offered stunning views of the countryside, a community feel, and the convenience of modern living. A chance email from a local estate agent promoting a small development by the award-winning family-owned housebuilder in the village of Brookthorpe on the edge of the Cotswolds turned their heads.

“As soon as we visited Brookthorpe Park, we knew this was the place for us,” Peter, 69, recalls. “The development is smaller, which gives it a real sense of community, and the views of rolling countryside from our lounge are simply breathtaking.”

Peter and Ferhan decided on a three-bedroom end-of-terrace home which also met their needs in terms of space and layout.

“One of the things we love most is the view from our lounge,” says Ferhan. “We can sit and watch the rolling countryside vista for hours. It’s incredibly peaceful, and we feel so lucky to have that right outside our window.”

The home’s modern design, and energy efficiency features, combined with the natural beauty of its surroundings, provided the perfect balance of comfort and tranquillity. The quality craftsmanship and thoughtful planning that Cotswold Homes is known for were evident in every detail of the property, further reinforcing the couple’s decision.

Beyond the physical attributes of their new home, Peter and Ferhan have been pleasantly surprised by the strong sense of community at Brookthorpe Park.

“Moving to a new area is always a bit daunting, but everyone here has been so welcoming,” Peter shares. “There’s a real sense of belonging, and we’ve already started to make friends with our neighbours.”

Ferhan,63, added: “The smaller size of the development means you get to know people more easily. It feels like we’re part of a close-knit community, which is exactly what we wanted. We also didn’t want the hassle of renovating a second-hand property. Everything here is just right.”

“Choosing Brookthorpe Park was the best decision we’ve made,” says Peter. “The team at Cotswold Homes were fantastic especially Joanna who went above and beyond all the way through the move. We’ve found our forever home.”

Sarah Williams, Sales and Marketing Director at Cotswold Homes, added: “We are delighted to hear another wonderful story about a successful move to one of our stunning new developments.

“For the Coggins, moving to Brookthorpe Park has been a dream come true. Their new home offers everything they were looking for—beautiful countryside views, a welcoming community, and the quality and design they desired. They couldn’t be happier with their decision to leave Swindon and start this new chapter in their lives.
