Nice area with good links both into Maldon - Danbury - Witham - Chelmsford - Braintree - Colchester - Links into London via Witham or Hatfield Peverel train stations

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

To be confirmed. The fact that the front and back garden was a mess when we moved in, along with a leaking radiator on the landing that has made the carpet soaked has slightly concerned us but we will see how that goes in the next week or so??

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

Whether the loft was boarded or not for extra storage. Also whether we are allowed a shed installed in the garden.

So far our experience of the local area is positive. It’s very quiet and peaceful, neighbours are friendly and welcoming. It’s in a convenient location for us to commute to work and then escape the city afterwards.

We have mostly dealt with Eleanor Harding from Leaf Living who has been brilliant. Very warm and welcoming when we first met her and super responsive to any of our emails calls or queries. She went above and beyond to help us and was always on time.

Not enough storage in the kitchen so we wished we had know this ahead of time so we could maybe add in some shelves or extra drawers ready for us as we moved in.
