July 2025
After 22 years in their previous home, the family made the exciting move to Heritage Fields in May 2025. We caught up with them to hear about their journey, why The Hewson was the perfect fit, and how life in their new Story home is already making happy memories.
Jonathan is a tennis coach, and I (Lisa) sell children’s books. We live here with our two children, Iz and Ainsley, and our Cavapoo, Ezra.
We already knew the location well, so as soon as building works began, we were checking the website. Initially, we were looking on behalf of a friend – who now also lives on the estate! The area really felt right for us, and seeing it develop has been so exciting.
We chose The Hewson. Jonathan encouraged me to view some show homes, and when we walked into the family room at the back of The Hewson, it was a real wow moment. After 22 years in our previous home, I instantly knew we were moving!
It just works perfectly for us. I absolutely adore the family room – it’s such a calm, happy space, and we’ve already hosted a party where the set-up was ideal for entertaining. The whole layout is so well thought out, and having two bedrooms with en-suites is such a bonus.
Jonathan has been a house-hunting enthusiast for years, but I was never interested in moving. I only agreed to look at new builds to humour him – but the moment we stepped into The Hewson show home, I fell in love. That was the turning point.
We’ve loved watching the other houses being built around us. Everything about our home is beautifully designed and works so well for our family. We also added a few extras so it felt ‘complete’ on moving day, which made the transition really easy.
Yes, we did. But Story Homes stood out immediately – the houses felt so spacious and airy. Jonathan is 6’3”, so the high ceilings in a new build were a pleasant surprise. The natural light and thoughtful details really make all the difference.
Absolutely. The whole process has been smooth and enjoyable, and we’re so happy in what we know will be our forever home.
