This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Review of sessile
The design is beautiful, but I see in the yoga room the ceilings are peeling. Maintenance is not very good they haven’t followed up as they promised. Charles has been very kind and all the reception team is great, obviously great gym and co working facilities however the dining room and kitchen has a bad smell
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lovely community and a huge park nearby, it’s a short walk next to the station and very convenient, and a friendly team
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The maintenance has come to fix things but the shower head and hose had to be replaced, it’s been 1.5 weeks and still not replaced due to the previous tenant putting on a shower filter that broke the hose. So it means checkout checks from previous tenant was not done properly
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That we can’t let people in through the intercom. But otherwise it’s a lovely home

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Great building and amazing amenities, very good staff
Great building to live, amazing amenities with exquisite design. Gym is great and very well equipped, rooftop for co working is great, staff is very kind and diligent (specially Niamh in the management and Charles at the front desk). I really like living here. 100% recommended
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Beautiful building with amazing amenities, well connected with Victoria Line close by. Downside is not many restaurants or bars around or near, yet that is exactly what I wanted (to avoid crowds). Would be great to have a grocery store near, but Lidl is 12 min walk away.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very fast and diligent response, all issues raised were addressed and resolved
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
No restaurants or cafe near by, other than Coco. Yet the area is developing, this may change soon

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Fabulous Sessile Apartments
The facilities at the Sessile are fabulous. Beautifully designed apartments with great storage. Everything works well and the maintenance guys are great (thank you ) All management work very hard to ensure that residents are looked after, listened too and there is a very friendly vibe. Any issues which arise are dealt with immediately and professionally. Great gym , Yoga studio and many happy times spent in the lovely Orangery.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Transport links are excellent and I always felt very safe coming hoke late on the tube line. The park next to the Sessile is an excellent open space , very friendly with a community feel. My apartment looked inwards over the lovely garden on floor one so I was not really aware of traffic noise or any other noise. And lovely to hear life going on around the Sessile-certainly not anti-social behaviour. Loved Little Coco at the Gessner and Mother Kelly's. Hopefully a few eating places will open soon.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always. Quick response, problem sorted. Totally trustworthy team if entry is needed without myself being present.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The friendliness and general kindness of residents. WhatsApp groups.

This development review is rated 4.0 out of 5.0. Just moved into the Sessile in July! Come on England :)
From the simple tenancy setup system via Way of Life, to the ongoing events within the Sessile - the team have done an excellent job of making me feel at home within my first month here. The surrounding area is fantastic, close proximity to the tube station, wetlands walks/hikes on your doorstep, and plenty of entertainment in the Orangery, Mother Kellys, or in the many other pubs or venues nearby! The building is themed nicely and well maintained. The only reason I did not provide 5 stars was the post room can be a bit chaotic at times, digging through the parcels to find my things in the heat was comparable to a sauna experience. I can't fault any other part of the property, staff, or area. Would highly recommend!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Tottenham Hale is a fantastic residential space, with the nearby wetlands providing a number of excellent jog and/or hiking spots. The Sessile is situated very close to the tube station however there is very little noise from outside thanks to the large communal area of the building.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I've not raised any problems since moving in last month.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would strongly recommend visiting the area and local establishments to see what Tottenham Hale is about before moving. It's an excellent town with pockets of culture to get lost in - privately owned businesses are still prevalent and support each other. It hasn't been hit by gentrification like other areas I've visited and lived.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. The Sessile is somewhere you always want to come home to!
The interior design of the property is the best we’ve seen from any new build development. No expense is spared on the interiors or the appliances. We love all the mod cons and don’t know how we’ll survive without them in the future. The gym is also probably the nicest I’ve ever been in - and having it on the ground floor gives you no excuse! The Orangery is beautiful and a real luxury to have as an additional space & area to work from.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Down Lane Park is beautiful - we’re very lucky to have a view of it. The transport links are superb - the Victoria line is reliable, the trains are handy (also for getting to Stansted), and the access to the motorway was important. We’ve always felt safe here. There’s a bit of traffic noise but it’s not too intrusive.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They’ve been great whenever we’ve reported anything.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s a super football pitch just around the corner and there’s often cheap games of football there with a fab community! Get involved!! And there’s a little independent bakery called “Be More Shirley” that I’d really recommend.
