Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in the area has its positives and negatives. There are plenty of local shops, cafes, and restaurants offering a good variety of options, and the nearby parks provide nice green spaces for relaxation. Public transport links are generally convenient, with regular bus and train services, though they can be crowded during peak hours. Street parking can be challenging at times, and bin collections are occasionally inconsistent. While traffic noise is present, it’s usually manageable. Overall, it’s a lively area with a strong sense of community, though it can get a bit busy.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been responsive and quick to address any issues I’ve raised, ensuring effective solutions.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known more about the noise levels during peak hours—it’s something that doesn’t come across in a typical viewing. Also, understanding the community’s approach to shared spaces and events would have been helpful. I’d recommend new neighbors attend community meetings to connect with others and stay informed.

The best is the loction, beautiful ĺandscape in a quiet green area yet 1 mile to town centre, quality of construction and the quality òf kitchen equipment used. The only thing I would think of missing is a convenience store at a walking distance.
