About Thornsett

The apartment is really nice – it’s good quality, pretty spacious and modern. Generally there is not much interaction between residents – people like to keep themselves to themselves. The concierge service is fairly good although they are often busy and hard to locate when you need them. The building management company generally do a good job and respond to problems and requests reasonably quickly. I feel very safe here – the area is not dangerous and the security on the development is good (you have to pass through two secure and surveilled entrances to even get into the building itself). The building also has lifts which operate very well and have never broken down to my knowledge. Unfortunately there is no gym within the development which is a shame considering how much we pay.

The apartment is really nice – it is spacious, modern and there is a great balcony. We also have pretty nice views from the apartment. It is cheap to run utilities-wise which is a real bonus. The concierge service is generally very good (although you have to ring them to get hold of them). In terms of facilities, the courtyard within the residence is very attractive and pleasant but sadly there is not a gym. Contact between residents is usually pretty limited but most people are respectful (there are a lot of private tenants – as opposed to owners – living here). There is a good community-feel at the weekend though as most of the residents are around and it does not feel deserted. We would definitely recommend choosing 9A (block) – it is the furthest from the street and so noise is not an issue. The residence is very close to Smithfield Market which is also great and we like how there are lots of green spaces nearby. Another upside is that the buildings in this area are generally very low-rise.

The building is really well looked after. Basic furniture when coming into the apartment which I expected better.
I like how modern it is for the price. It is an open plan apartment and it is nice to have people over. At one point there was flooding in the carpark but it was fixed quite quickly.
The facebook group is really useful and other tenants allow you to park in their places.

My apartment is really nice – it is well-made and very good quality. I especially like the view. Unfortunately the lights often break but the building management company are fairly good at responding and usually resolve issues within a week. The area is safe and the security on the residence is good – you have to pass through two entrances to access the building. The residents generally keep themselves to themselves. The building management and cleaning service are quite strict – they don’t like it when furniture within the apartment is moved and I found this a bit odd.
