Seller's Insight

"My Dad bought the flat back in 2008, and for sixteen years it has been a wonderful home for him. The sunny orientation and open views always brought a little cheer and brightness, and there was usually something for him to see from the balcony, or simply sit, relax, and enjoy the views.

Lynway Court gave us comfort knowing Dad was part of a welcoming and friendly development, with a lovely house manager on hand and likeminded people."
