‘Fabulous & perfect – love the space in my home and I love living in Silsden’
Warren, The Foster, Bolton Gardens
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Warren, a proud homeowner at Bolton Gardens, where he’s lived in one of our stunning Foster homes for over a year. From the moment we stepped through the door, Warren greeted us with a warm smile, a cup of tea, and a delicious biscuit to make us feel right at home. As he gave us a wonderful tour of his beautifully styled home and garden, it was clear how much pride and care he’d put into making his space truly his own. His attention to detail and passion for his home was inspiring, and we’re thrilled to share his experience living in this fantastic community in Silsden.
What first attracted you to The Foster house type & how do you find living in a 3-storey home?
I saw a picture of The Foster and I loved the look of it, however, my daughter recommended one of the two barn conversions, but I much prefer the look of The Foster, I like that it is a tall home so the views are amazing, with lots of light from the Velux windows. Another big thing for me was the garden size of the plot, especially being south-facing.
Reflecting on the past year, how would you describe your overall experience with your Skipton Properties home?
Fabulous & perfect – love the space in my home and I love living in Silsden, I used to live in Leeds, and I love the community.
Can you talk about the quality and craftsmanship of your home now that you’ve lived in it for a while?
I love the soundproofing, it stays warm and I have had very minimal shrinkage or snags. The flooring is laid brilliantly and the natural stone just pulls it all together.
What are some favourite features or spaces in your home?
All of it! My bedroom on the top floor is like a sanctuary, I have so much space in the lounge, I love that it is south-facing and I specifically chose it off-plan so I got my desired plot, I like the three-storey because it keeps me fit going up and down the stairs.
Would you recommend Skipton Properties to friends or family and if so, why?
I certainly would, all the guys on site are very considerate, I wanted a local builder and I cannot fault the craftsmaship. Customer care is also so pleasant and helpful.
Would you choose Skipton Properties again if you were to move and why?
Yes, because of all of the above. I have had new builds before and would not go to a national builder again as the finishes were not as good and the customer service was poor.
Is there anything Skipton Properties could have done to improve your overall experience?
The whole process has been mostly seamless – from the Sales Advisor to moving in and like I previously stated the Customer Care was just brilliant and I can’t fault anything from the process.
Warren’s story is a perfect example of how a thoughtfully designed home, like the Foster home, can provide more than just a place to live—it offers a foundation for a fulfilling and rewarding lifestyle. His beautiful home and garden are a testament to the quality and craftsmanship at Bolton Gardens, where homeowners are empowered to create spaces they truly love. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a place to grow, Bolton Gardens and our range of homes, including the Foster, offer the perfect opportunity to start your own chapter in a thriving community.
