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

We moved into our two-bedroom apartment at Wellesbourne on Preston Road a few weeks ago, and we’re absolutely loving it. The amenities are stunning—everything is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The staff have been incredibly friendly and helpful since day one, which made settling in so easy. The views over Preston Park are beautiful, and there’s always something to do in the area—whether it’s a walk in the park, grabbing a coffee nearby, or exploring Brighton. One of our favourite things has been the social area downstairs—it’s a great space to relax or work from, and the resident socials that are organised really help you feel part of a community. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to move here!

Every efficient. I was able to contact the front office and maintenance via the Hestia app

One thing I’m really looking forward to is the possibility of there being a shop/cafe or gym on the ground floor of the building.

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

Good aspects: Preston Park right outside, there's shops nearby, off-licenses, paypoints, and bus stops within 1 min. Somewhat negative aspects: No supermarkets close-by (within 4-5 mins).

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

They're super quick to respond and the liaising with the maintenance team is also very efficient. I had a call from the engineer within 2 days, and that was during the bank holiday!

How easy it would have been when I was moving here, they're all so helpful and patient.
