The development overall is average, for the price it is not good enough. Other than a parking space assigned to the flat there is no visitor parking. Bike store area is unsecure, my bike was stolen from there shortly after moving in. No delivery drivers can find the property due to poor signage.
The design of the property is fine, gaps in the balcony floor allow all debris and detritus to fall down to the other balconies and strict property rules prevent you from having more than 4 plants on the balcony and you are not allowed privacy screen.
Lots of issues inside the flats with plumbing.
The rooftop area is OK, with a few tables and a few plants.
Parking is very bad, one person in a poorly parked area can prevent others from parking.
The property would do well from some visitor parking, an onsite gym, a secure bike lock area and something that adds to the value.
Property is managed well by the caretaker
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
The good: Town and train station is close, walking distance from a big supermarket and a short drive away from other big supermarkets, and outlet centre. Very close to a Victoria park and Singleton Lake. Good transport links to London from Ashford international. Bin collections are frequent.
The bad: Traffic noise is very loud, constant industrial building noises from the constant development around. Apart from the park at the back of the development, all other amenities and shops are at least a 10-minute walk away. Train links to London are exceptionally expensive. There are no restaurants or bars around without going into town.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Price of train links.
Poor signage for the property – delivery drivers will always call you for directions or just not deliver the package as they can find the right building.
The constant development adjacent to the building is very obnoxious.
Constant speeding down the road makes for very loud traffic noise.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Management responded well to issues however there have been numerous problems within a short amount of time.
When my bike was stolen I received very little support from the management company.
