Sellers comments…“I love living in this flat and am only moving as I have the opportunity to obtain a larger property in the area. The neighbourhood is very friendly and close to all local amenities you would need such as shops, doctors, dentists and public transport. The garden is very private and there is minimal noise from other tenants in the building, who are all very friendly and helpful but also respectful of privacy. The layout of the flat gives a great feeling of space as you move through the rooms, with the hallway offering a clear separation between different living spaces”
