Sellers Insight

"i’ve really enjoyed living in this flat - it’s bright, modern, comfortable, and easy to maintain. One of the biggest advantages has been the location: It’s on the doorstep to local schools, shops, clubs and the seafront, making daily life really convenient.

The flat benefits from wonderful views across the surrounding areas, has a dedicated parking space, and access to a shared rear garden, which has been great for relaxing outdoors or enjoying the sunshine. It has been a practical home with everything you need, while still offering a sense of space and light.

I hope the next owner enjoys it as much as I have - whether as a first home, a downsize, or an investment property, it’s a property that offers flexibility, convenience, and a fantastic outlook."
