OWNER INSIGHT

"Having previously lived in St Marychurch, when we decided that we wanted to downsize from our family home and remove ourselves of the maintenance of the garden we knew that we wanted to remain in the area due to the convenience of the location and the accessibility to all of the shops and amenities in St Marychurch precinct. We had everything that we needed almost on our doorstep and wanted to ensure that this convenience remained. As soon as we secured a buyer for our home we started our search and were struggling to find a property that met our requirements, but as soon as we walked into this apartment we realised that we had found our new home. Not only was it in the area that we were seeking, the apartment provided us with a good amount of space and the quality of the finish we found to be exceptional. We both knew straight away that this was the one for us and have never regretted our decision!"
