‘From the first time I saw the view — especially at sunset — I knew this was the right place for me. Every evening looks a little different, but it’s always beautiful, and the summer nights here are just something else. The south-facing garden and patio have been perfect for having friends over or just enjoying a quiet evening outside. It’s a lovely spot to unwind. One of the things I’ve really loved is the community here — people look out for each other and there are regular events that make it a fantastic place to live’
