A couple in their 80s have opened up about life in their new-build home where 'everything sparkles'. Over the summer, Robert and Gloria Gee purchased a new two-bedroom bungalow in The Vale development by Bellway in Bottesford, just over the Nottinghamshire border.
The couple decided to downsize from their previous home in Whatton in the Vale, near Bingham. Their previous property was an extended 1960s bungalow that was larger than they needed and had a large garden that required a lot of work to maintain.
The pair has looked at a range of older and new build homes but were put off properties that weren't to the right standard or had things they would need to alter. Robert and Gloria decided on The Vale development as it was only five miles away from where they lived previously, and decided a new home meant they didn't have to worry about all the maintenance that an older house needs.
