Aster Group at Kings Gate, SO21

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

The estate is situated between Winchester and Eastleigh, so access to lots of areas. The village had a co-op and post office along with a pub, takeaway and drs/dentist. The estate it’s self has a nice open green in the centre along with play area sections around the edges along with a woodland walk. There is plenty of parking and I have not had any issues living on my road. There are children outplaying on the green but personally not experienced any issues.

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

Local shop is awful, never had any stock always looks like it’s about to close down. Transport to Winchester is awful one bus an hour which is almost guaranteed to be late. Parking spaces aren’t marked with numbers so I struggle to park in my own spaces, with 2 young children this is very infuriating. Neighbours park out the front of my house so that’s never an option either. Where my house is the bins are a struggle to get in and out too. Young children seem to roam around the estate causing various problems. I get lots of rubbish out the front of my house too.

That you would have to drive to go anywhere really.

Nice size rooms, having a downstairs toilet, having a garden

We love the top floor of our town house. The garden is also a good size.
