WHAT THE OWNER SAYS: The two flats have been very popular with renters during the 20 or so years I have been letting them. The feedback from tenants, in addition to being keen on the location, has been very positive about the spaciousness of the flats. When the communal garden and stores are built the existing flats will then have the benefit of some outside space.
