The development is in short walking distance to a local shopping area called Lime Square. That small retail park has all one could need, including pharmacy, post office, coffee shop, gym, three grocery shops, charity shops etc. There are excellent transport links with a several bus lines passing close by on the Ashton-old-road. The train station is in walking distance and even the tram could be a possibility. The canal is nearby and lovely to walk along. Of course there are sirens on the Ashton-old-road, but other than that the area is rather quiet! Bin collections are efficient. There is always parking available even if not in front of your own house. We are thankful for our own private parking spots.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

This is such a good location, halfway between Manchester and Ashton, therefore easy access to both areas, shopping, motorway, city etc. Even though that is visible on the map, I didn't quite realise how much we would appreciate that fact!

What is the best feature of your home:

The insulation! no damp, low heating costs in winter!

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

This development is well placed along the 219 bus line. It is also within walking distance of Fairfield train stop. Although it is a little further you could walk to the tram. It's great having Morrions, Costa, Specsavers, Greggs and others close by. It is just a short drive into the centre of Manchester or Ashton.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I think I may have waited until a house became available that had a charging port. Also perhaps a house that had it's own driveway.

What is the best feature of your home:

Two things tie for best feature location of course but also the wise use of space within the house itself.

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

We have been in this house just over a year now and have got to know the area pretty well. The location is great close to a number of shops including Lidl and Morrisons. On a main bus route to the city centre and also within walking distance of Train and Tram line. Not to forget a short walk to the Manchester/Ashton canal for those relaxing walks.

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

They have responded very slowly and disappointing.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Probably shoulld have visited at different times of the day to gauge noise level and busyness of roads.
