What locals say about Stanmore
“My flat is far away from main street and Brockhurst corner. Very quiet and clean. Nice looked after lawns around flats. Also place for kids to play. And good bus connection to supermarket, bank etc. Really like living here with my two cats. They have space to enjoy too. :)”
