Southwood Mews, GU14

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

The location is good. Having Morrisons and their so close helps. The Sarsen Stones is a lovely pub, a bit expensive but nice. Parking is a bit an issue when we have visitors. The storage where the bins are is always packed and bins full in a couple of days. We need more bins, and having available one of the other storages having waste separately would help with the accessibility to them. The neighbourhood is ok. We recently had the police and ambulance at 3pm, due to family fight. Some people don't understand that speaking under your balcony at 1 or 2 in the morning is very annoying when you try to sleep and you wake up at 5. It is annoying to see that some people have small swimming pools in the balcony, and they empty them just letting the water fall all the way down passing through the rest of balconies. The trains noise is too much. I know that we have good windows, but I think that they could have been better noise isolating. The freight trains at night are too noisy.

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

How bad the noise from trains is, the lack of sense of living in community of the rest of the neighbors. -My flat is 16 but it does not show below in the drop down menu., it is hard to get any kind of deliveries for this reason -

What is the best feature of your home:

The size of the rooms and the storage in the corridor.

There’s lots to do in and around the area, which is all easily accessible. Parking is good as you get 2 spaces each and there’s visitor spaces for guests. It’s a very quiet area.

Nothing really, I love it for my first home and it’s big enough for my family and more than what I thought I would get.

Nice and quiet area, located on the outer areas of Farnborough. Farnborough station is about 10 mins drive away and you can get to London from there in less than 40 mins.

The response to issues raised to the aftercare team is slow and is needing a lot of following-up.

Some of the roads in the estate are a bit narrow and the estate could do with better lighting.
