Customer case study: more space, modern living – life at Elmbrook Park

May 2026

Daniel, a partner at a law firm, and his wife Sarah had been thinking about moving home for a couple of years before deciding to take the next step in Easter 2025.

Looking for more space for family life with their daughter Mollie, they discovered Elmbrook Park – where they went on to reserve a four-bedroom Wilson, a home that perfectly matched their needs for both modern living and long-term flexibility.

We caught up with them to hear more about why they chose Elmbrook Park, what they love most about The Wilson, and their experience of moving into a brand-new Story Home.

When did you first start looking for a new home?

We had been thinking about moving for a couple of years, but it wasn’t until Easter 2025 that we began our serious search.

What made you decide on a new build rather than a second-hand property?

We wanted a modern home that wouldn’t require any renovation work. Being able to choose our own specification was really important to us, whereas with an older property there’s always a level of compromise.

How did you first hear about Story Homes and the Elmbrook Park development?

We had been researching new build developments in the area online when we came across an advertisement for Elmbrook Park.

Which house type did you reserve, and what appealed to you most about it?

We were looking for a four-bedroom home and narrowed it down to the Wilson and the Sanderson. As there wasn’t a Wilson show home nearby, Emma, the Sales Executive, arranged for us to view a partially built version. We immediately loved the layout and the natural light created by the large hall window.

We ultimately chose the Wilson because we preferred the detached garage, and we really liked the flow of the open plan downstairs space. The bedrooms are all generously sized, and the garage is particularly spacious.

Are there any features of your new home you’re particularly excited about?

There are so many to mention, but the overall finish is exceptional. Our favourite features are probably the bi-fold doors and the rainfall showers.

Did you consider other housebuilders or developments? If so, what made you choose Story Homes?

We visited several other developments and show homes, but the build quality and design of Story Homes really stood out. The level of specification included as standard was also a key deciding factor for us.

How did you find the process of reserving your home? Were there any moments that stood out?

We used the Home Move scheme, which worked really well for us. Once we knew which plot we wanted, we just had to wait for an offer on our existing home. The process was very straightforward, and Emma was incredibly supportive throughout, especially when we were anxious about potentially losing the plot before securing a buyer.

How would you describe your experience with the Story Homes team?

Amazing. From our first meeting with Emma in July 2025 through to moving in just a few weeks ago, the experience has been excellent. The Aftercare team have also been fantastic and have gone above and beyond to help us settle in.

Would you recommend Story Homes to friends or family?

Absolutely. From the initial conversations about the development through to reservation, options, and completion, everything has been excellent. Emma has been truly outstanding throughout, going above and beyond at every stage.

The location is fantastic, the neighbourhood already feels very welcoming, and we’re extremely happy with our new home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Story Homes to friends and family.
