Under open tender and on 2 year lease. Yes SLA refurbished the estate and was up for public tender about 1 year ago. It should now be fully leased out. Very nice quiet estate that not many people know. <br />I'll be digging out the old chap kor photos I promised. <br /><br />Jon Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332505205464079170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291749928176751452.post-61903857760090847112013-07-28T15:10:35.969+08:002013-07-28T15:10:35.969+08:00Hi Shoen Liang,

It is now private property but I managed to sneak in a few months ago for a look because it seems some developer is refurbishing the houses there. The houses being rebuilt looks extremely expensive and I believe would be considered GCB - Good Class Bungalows - meaning expensive and exclusive! You might want to go for a sneak view now as it is still under construction.
