Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

This is a great area to live, with a post office, pub, great cafe, and train station all within 5/10 minutes walking distance. Yeovil and Sherborne are also both 10 minutes drive away, both of which have a lot of facilities, services and shops.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They have been very attentive to most our issues, which we have been very grateful for, however we still have some outstanding issues that are yet to be resolved.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I had asked for some of our early conversations in writing. There were a couple of things we noticed before completion, which the salesperson advised would be resolved before moving in, which weren’t. They have since been resolved but with more disruption than would have been the case if they had been resolved before we moved in.
