Two young brothers living in a new development in Honiton had their Christmas wish granted by Baker Estates when they received a football goal for their new garden.
Football mad youngsters James and Dean Manvell have recently moved into a Baker Estates’ three-bedroom semi-detached home at Hayne Farm with their parents and are over the moon to have their own garden.
Site Manager at Hayne Farm Robin Palmer heard the boys had volunteered to forfeit birthday and Christmas presents so that the family had enough money for a deposit. The only thing they didn’t have to complete the dream move was a football goal, so Baker Estates tackled that issue – literally!
On receiving the gift from Baker Estates, James, 11, said: “It’s so much fun having the new goal. We can now practice our free kicks and penalties! Thank you so much Baker Estates.”
Mum, Michelle, said; “The boys understood that we had to save really hard for a deposit for our new house for nine months and we went without many things over that time. We used to live in a rented flat so they are over the moon to be in their own home with a garden. We are delighted with our new Baker Estates’ home. I sometimes can’t believe it.”
Annie Williams, Head of Sales at Baker Estates, said: “We are only too pleased to help after hearing how the boys helped to save for their new home. To supply a couple of footballs and a goal for James and Dean to enjoy is the least we could do.”
