It’s a really beautiful part of the world and the perfect environment to raise our family. It’s incredibly peaceful with lots of green, open spaces for our children to enjoy. We have plenty of room for parking and our neighbours are lovely. There is a Coop with a cashpoint machine and a coffee shop that makes lots of delicious food.

Yes and they have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently. We couldn’t have asked for more.

A crash course in solar panels would have helped! This is the first house we’ve lived in that has solar panels and I love that we are being kinder to our planet by using them.

5Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The property is in a cul-de-sac so very quiet and nice. There are shops nearby which is convenient. The property has enough parking for three cars and the garage is very spacious which is handy
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We have not moved in to the property as of yet so have not raised any issues but from our visits the property looks in good repair and we have no complaints thus far and hope it will continue this way.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We were not aware of the continuing plans for development in the area our property is situated- the only downside is the roads leading to our property are currently in terrible condition.
