OUR VIEW: “One of the residents of this ten-year-old development told me that it's a lovely place to live and that everyone living there is friendly. And I can well believe it. I get the impression that the residents' lounge is well used (I know for a fact that there's a weekly coffee morning and a fortnightly film night), yet everyone's independence is respected so, if you're not feeling quite so sociable, you don't have to get involved. The flat itself is bright and cheerful, with a living room, a double bedroom of particularly good size, and a decent amount of storage.” Martin G. Haigh
