SELLER'S INSIGHT

"The apartment provided a perfect home for my late father-in-law, peacefully set next to Cary Park with wide range of amenities close at hand. Castle Court also gave him with the peace of mind of an age restricted development, but he was not the character who desired the environment of a communal lounge, shared laundry, or a resident manager, often associated with similar nature developments and reflective higher service charge costs. It is a lovely bright home with views over the garden, and I have no doubt the next owners will love it as much as our family."
