We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The design could be better - why no outside balcony space? Would have been such a small addition with a huge impact on the flats. The bin store being so far down the street is a pain - if you are a single parent then it means either dragging your kids out every time you need to take a bin out, or waiting until you are passing (which during lockdown can mean bins sit in the house for days..!) I would happily live here forever if only there had been even a small balcony. But with no outdoor space it can feel very small and claustrophobic. The finish wasn’t great, lots of snagging issues and a few things could have been done a bit better. The kitchen is good though.

Great Development, however the outside design in terms of space im front of windows is not the greatest, could have been designed to feel more private. Very small pavement in front of the development means little privacy.

The design is amazing, very modern and new, facilities are great and design and property management are good. The back garden (shared) is very big and open, there is stairs leading down to Aldi Which is very useful, there is also a car park back and front of the bulding

Modern design and close by amenity makes this a very favourable and increasingly popular area to put down roots. Management is efficient and up to date with care taken to preserve the ambience. Design interior is functional and adequately spacious with up to the minute services and heating/cooking/insulation methodology. Feels secure and comfortable with nothing left to chance.

The development has been created with community in mind including large open grass areas. This enables residents to meet and allows children to have a safe place to play and dogs an area to exercise. The roads running through the developments are short with lots of bends and narrowing ensuring cars need to drive sensibly.
