SELLERS INSIGHT "Our sister purchased this lovely apartment in 2022 when she was downsizing and felt that it offered her everything that she wanted, a cosy home in a convenient yet tucked away location within walking distance of all of the amenities that she needed on a daily basis. Set on the top floor of the development ensured that she enjoyed her peace & quiet, with the balcony providing her with some private outside space to enjoy the later afternoon sunshine and the ability to sit amongst some colourful garden plants.
