I'm Anne, a 30-odd year old female surgeon with a passion for sports and foreign travel. I was initially dragged kicking and screaming to view property in this development - I wanted a warehouse conversion for my home and that was it. Within a minute of arriving I changed my mind... I value cleanliness and comfort, a peaceful home environment, and the ability to get anywhere and do anything with ease.

This was home whilst I worked in the area, I've returned several times, and now it is my escape. Family and friends also utilise the apartment and we hope you too will appreciate just how special it is and why I could never sell!

I travel solo or with family/friends, all of us being non-smoking professionals.
