SELLERS' INSIGHT

"When last looking to move I wanted to find a comfortable apartment on the level and close to local amenities. When searching I found that Charlwood Court offered me everything that I was seeking, in the heart of St Marychurch and within a level walk of all of the amenities that I could wish for. Upon visiting the development I found this lovely apartment on the sunny south westerly side of the building and immediately felt at home here. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time living at Charlwood Court and have found that there is a great sense of community in the building, with various activities arranged between friends and neighbours that you can join in as much or as little as you like. There is also the added peace of mind of having a friendly house manager. I’ve made some wonderful friends that I’ll be keeping in touch with."
