OUR VIEW: “Bright and airy: the first two words that came to my mind when I looked around this property for the first time. Approached by its own front door and staircase (offering those who need it the benefit of being able to fit a stairlift), this is a purpose-built first floor apartment in a sought-after development for the over-sixties. The accommodation is well maintained and light, with windows in every room except the useful store room (although, even without a window, the current owner is using it as a make-shift third bedroom at the moment). The flat is situated in one corner of the development, with aspects to front and rear that are pleasantly open.” Martin G. Haigh
