Our new flat specifications

Tadam!!!! We spent our first week in our new flat!!! I decided to write down our new flat specifications, mostly for my memories, but if you are curious - you are welcome to read and comment, and ask, if needed.

The Ridge BR5, a gated development of new houses and apartments, just off the High Street in St Mary Cray. A contemporary design, an easy commute to central London, great shopping and close to green open spaces: all this combines to make The Ridge the place to live

All new homes at The Ridge have been thoughtfully designed and equipped with well-known brands such as a high white gloss Paula Rosa kitchen with integrated Zanussi appliances and Villeroy and  Boch sanitaryware.
