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. She spent three happy years here enjoying her lovely home and now is the time for us to sell it on her behalf, giving any new prospective owner the ability to enjoy life at Imperial Court as much as she did!"
