OWNER INSIGHT "My mother bought the flat as an investment and rented it out very easily. The very first time I visited the apartment block with her I was immediately struck by the appealing setting, and well-kept appearance of the communal areas and block in general, along with its close proximity to the town centre.

It has always felt a very safe and secure location and I am sure it will make a great first home or investment purchase."
