Owners Insight
“I purchased the flat in 2002, after falling in love with the view across the bay. I lived there for two years before deciding to rent it out.
The flat is perfectly situated around the harbourside for all of the local amenities. The views from both the kitchen and lounge are spectacular all year round, but especially in the summer months with the activity in the Bay. The flat would make an ideal first time home, as it did for me. Alternatively it’s ready made as a rental property”
