Owners Insight

"When I came to live here, it was very nice not to have to use the lift to my flat, being on the ground floor, as I was using a wheeler at the time, and not well. As i've improved, I enjoy walking around the garden and down into the village and to the shops. Now I have regained my health and have a dog it's time to move on with my family.

I have enjoyed living in the apartment and making new friends, it is a very friendly atmosphere and the yearly social events are excellent."
