The development comprises 68 thoughtfully designed one and two-bedroom apartments, all created with comfort, practicality and peace of mind at the forefront. Residents enjoy an exceptional range of communal facilities, including a welcoming residents' lounge where complimentary tea, coffee and refreshments are available throughout the day – an ideal space to relax or catch up with friends and neighbours. An on-site restaurant serves pre-booked lunches and evening meals for both residents and their guests, while a private function room is available to hire for family celebrations and special occasions.

Apartment 51 is situated on the second floor and is easily accessed via both lift and staircase. The apartment has been well maintained and is ready for its next owner to move straight in and enjoy.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to all rooms and includes a particularly useful walk-in storage cupboard, which houses the hot water cylinder and offers excellent additional storage.
The bright and spacious living/dining room is flooded with natural light and features an attractive electric fireplace, creating a cosy focal point. Glazed patio doors open onto a private south-facing balcony, extending the living space and providing a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

One of the apartment's standout features is the private south-facing balcony, which enjoys delightful views across the beautifully landscaped communal gardens. Bordered by mature hedging and established trees, the gardens provide an excellent degree of privacy and a tranquil setting, with attractive views towards surrounding greenery. Local wildlife, including visiting rabbits, can often be seen enjoying the peaceful environment.
