OUR VIEW: “A one-bedroom apartment, for the over-55s, in this very popular converted Georgian house (three houses, in fact, rolled into one). Set at the rear of the building, on the second floor, the flat can be approached by lift or by stairs, and offers peace of mind to both those who just want somewhere quiet to live, and to those who feel the benefit of an estate manager, communal facilities and a 24-hour emergency call system might come in handy.” Martin G. Haigh
