OWNER'S INSIGHT

"I have loved living at The Vinery for 18 years, and there are so many things which made my decision to buy, and kept me here for so long. The convenience is exceptional, with the restaurant level of Hoopers department store literally a few minutes away where the lift takes you down to the Strand, main bus terminus and vibrant harbour. The one thing I will miss is the community spirit within The Vinery, and although fellow owners are not in each other's pockets, it's comforting to know someone is usually on hand or available for a chat, and a perfect meeting space is the communal garden or conservatory. With the lovely view, fresh air off the Bay and sunshine, it truly feels like living on the Riviera."
