A great development with appealing design, attractive buildings, and growing green space. Negatives include a rather large service charge, frequently broken facilities (non-working lights, a failing lift, smashed glass and mirrors left unreplaced), and awful visitor parking that makes it very difficult for friends and family to visit.
A beautifully designed development with a lovely atmosphere and polite, friendly staff offering top service. Legacy apartments are attractive and well-finished, though some practical flaws exist, such as large gaps around shower cubicle doors letting water seep out and stain the flooring.
Embassy Gardens has high design standards and impressive shared facilities like a sky pool and cinema, though these were closed during lockdown. Concierge staff are friendly, but property managers are impossible to reach about persistent issues such as lack of window cleaning.
The area is seeing redevelopment improvements that are refining its services and look. However, many facilities are broken and not working, customer service is unhelpful, and it is not good value for money.
