OUR VIEW: “The setting of this over-55s development is superb: right on the Downs and within a reasonably level walk of shops in North View (including Waitrose) and various bus routes along Westbury Road. This one-bedroom flat is situated in the newer part of the complex, on the first floor, and very close to the lift which downstairs opens opposite the car park door where this flat has an allocated space.” Martin G. Haigh
