When David and Tracey Whiting’s two sons decided to fly the nest the couple agreed that it was time they downsized to a home that would be more appropriate for their changing priorities. To their delight they found a spacious three bedroom house at Annington’s Chattenden development that allowed them to reduce the number of bedrooms in their home without sacrificing the quality and size of the remaining living accommodation.

David explained: “We were previously living in a five bedroom house in Strood, which was great when we had all three children living with us. However, when our two sons, Craig and Tom, left home to live with their partners we didn’t need the extra space. When looking around the Chattenden homes we knew we’d found something special; all of the rooms are well-proportioned and the value for money was incredible – we wanted to snap one up straight away!

“It was difficult to maintain our previous larger home and we had a mortgage on the house which we didn’t want to carry over into our retirement. Our new Annington property is far more manageable, we don’t have a mortgage on it, and there is the right amount of space for everyone.”

Not only do the Chattenden properties feature spacious living accommodation the homes also benefit from ample outdoor space with front and rear gardens and a garage.

David commented: “We had been looking for a west facing garden as we enjoy coming home from work in the summer and being able to enjoy the sun and at Chattenden we are lucky to have found exactly that. The large back garden and sizeable front garden provide great outdoor space that is ideal for when the grandchildren come over. Our new home is perfect for our family and we look forward to living here for many years to come”

The properties in Chattenden have been extremely popular and are now sold out. For further information about other Annington developments please visit: www.annington.co.uk
