Sellers Insight

"It has been a really difficult decision for me to move away and sell my lovely apartment and I do so with a ‘heavy heart’. This was my first home, and having owned the apartment for over 30 years it holds special memories for me.

I was immediately attracted to South Court due to its established & highly regarded Lincombes address, the sizeable rooms with lofty ceiling heights and I also liked the fact that it was ‘tucked away’ down the sweeping private driveway, keeping the development private and also quiet. Having parking for two vehicles and its own private garden was also a big attraction as it provided me with my own personal space to sit and enjoy the English Riviera sunshine!

Having now purchased a new larger home close-by and started a new chapter in my life, I am now selling the apartment chain-free and feel sure that any new buyers will enjoy their time living here as much as I have done!"
