OUR VIEW: “Since it was built around ten years ago, this has proven to be a very popular over-sixties development, and it's not difficult to see why. Located just along the road from shops, and right by a bus stop, it's certainly well placed. And inside, too, it has a nice feel including its lovely residents' lounge overlooking an attractive communal garden. This flat is on the ground floor, has a bedroom of good size (with built-in double wardrobe), a living room, an integrated kitchen and a bathroom with over-bath shower.” Martin G. Haigh
