Occupying a premier first floor position, this home provides more than your average apartment; it offers spacious accommodation, attractive communal gardens to sit and relax and residence lounge to socialise.

Space to Breathe

Two Bright Bedrooms with plenty of built-in storage to keep things tidy.
Bathroom, with a moulded bath designed for easy access and seating.
