Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is hardly any traffic noise however we do have a motorbike and a red car driving on the paths. There is a variety of people living here DWP, pensioners, young families. Amble parking if people choose to be considerate to others. If everyone looks after these houses they will remain beautiful for years. All depends I guess on whether some tenants choose to have pride in where they live x
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I was alittle disappointed in the lack of second bedroom fitted wardrobe. On rightmove it misled me as the Morseley demonstrated it did have it.
What is the best feature of your home:
I have a beautiful garden and huge windows for light xx
