The building is surrounded by green, even if it is just 5 minutes away from the town centre. At the same distance, there are also relatively large supermarkets. The train station is a bit far (roughly 20 minutes on foot), but reachable with a pleasant walk through the town centre. The area is quiet and clean

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area feels safe, we’re close to shops and transport links. It’s quiet from our flat, we rarely if ever deal with antisocial behaviour from neighbours or those nearby.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

We’ve raised issues that have not been resolved, some of which are quite important and others which just affect our comfort. There are some building issues which have been broken since we moved in and are yet to be fixed. Other issues, such as issues with noise have been dealt with well.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Nothing major - the property is fairly as expected.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

I absolutely love living on the development. It’s the perfect location to access the city centre within a 10 minute walk. The train station is also a 15-20 minute walk (via the city centre) which gives easy access into London or Suffolk and Norfolk. For somebody who works in London, this is brilliant. I am able to escape the hustle and bustle of the big smoke but still have access to facilities locally.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Always promptly and efficiently. No complaints at all!

Nothing for me personally. Moving property is always a huge decision, but the team at One Canalside made the process smooth and are always on hand to answer any questions before or after you move in!
