Poor development with many issues like mice and moths
Used to rent here· 4y ago
The flat has very poor ventilation, with fitted carpets throughout including communal areas causing a massive moth infestation, plus a mice infestation. There are gaps and holes in the bathroom, poor-quality build materials, and wall cracks and damage in every room.
Generous living environment but too crowded
Used to rent here· 5y ago
East-facing buildings get insufficient daylight due to the proximity of a neighbouring block. Builders outside the flat make excessive noise, including on Saturdays, which is especially disruptive for a night-shift worker needing to sleep.

Overall great place!
Used to rent here· 5y ago
Building management is great, with cleaners working around the clock keeping it always clean, and property management is easy to reach. Staff can be rude at times, but overall it is really good with no major issues over a year.
Great development, great location
Used to rent here· 5y ago
The development is great, with a well-maintained spa and landscaping, friendly residents and a good community atmosphere. However, despite the nearby police station, there have been security issues including theft of bicycles and packages.
Review of battalion
Used to rent here· 5y ago
The development looks presentable and cosy. However, the intercom and entry gate break down frequently, allowing non-residents to park easily and causing problems for actual residents.
Family vibes

Happy sharing a two-bed; the main gripe is a hot-water timer that's awkward for shift workers and costly if left on. The separate washing-machine cupboard is a plus.
