Sellers Insight

"My sale is bitter sweet. I love living at Earls Court and only a move overseas to be with family is the reason I am reluctantly selling. For 11 years I have lived among this friendly community. I have great neighbours and enjoyed many hours socialising with them under the communal gazebo or just sitting in the garden with a good book and mug of tea when the sun shines. The immaculate, beautiful gardens are relaxing and a joy to look at from my front windows. An enthusiastic garden 'potterer' I even got to have a few pot plants to care for on a patio at the entrance. The day I decided to move to Earls Court was100% the right one."
