OWNER INSIGHT

"We purchased this apartment as a rental investment, with a tenant already in place. Having enjoyed a number of years happily living in the apartment the tenant has moved on and we have decided that the time is now right for us to sell the property, enabling any new owner to enjoy the benefits of living here at Wellswood Heights. With there being only four apartments within the development, each property offers a good level of space, with this particular apartment enjoying all of the top floor of the building. Each of the rooms are of a good proportion, with both the sitting room and the main bedroom also enjoying an open outlook across the valley to the wooded Warberries hillside. The property also has the benefit of a garage with additional parking to the front and a private lockable store/workshop beneath."
