OWNER INSIGHT
"The apartment has been in our family since 2009, initially a loved home for our Aunt and Uncle, and in more recent years becoming a rental investment. We had thoughts of potentially one of us moving to Maidencombe House, but it is now clear everyone seems settled and no intentions of moving to the apartment in the future. The position is picturesque, away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet only a matter of minutes drive. The view over the garden to the sea is relaxing, particularly nice on a lovely day sitting on the terrace. The corner position gives lots of natural light, and a side view only enjoyed by the end apartments."
