OWNER INSIGHT

He found the location to be extremely convenient, with the nearby shopping parade admirably catering for his every day needs and enabling him to retain his independence. He used to enjoy sitting in the apartment in peace and tranquillity overlooking the beautifully tended communal gardens and watching the wildlife."
