Seller's Insight

"When I brought my father to view apartments initially in Ellesmere, he fell in love with the development but once he looked out onto the entrance level apartments with the private terraces then nothing would compare! Finally one came up, and he enjoyed 18 wonderful years relaxing on his terrace and tending his plants. The outlook over the communal gardens is a place of tranquillity, without the worry of upkeep or maintenance. You can literally just sit back and enjoy the view.

There is a real community spirit at Ellesmere, and sadly our family ownership is nearing an end. We take comfort in knowing new owners will get to enjoy the apartment as much as my father and our family have over the years."
