In addition, there is a well equipped laundry room with washing machines and tumble driers, and lovely landscaped communal gardens to enjoy.
There's no need to worry about the burden of maintenance as the service charge covers the cost of all external maintenance, gardening and landscaping, external window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates and security systems. The energy costs of the homeowners lounge and other communal areas are also covered.
For peace-of-mind, there is a 24-hour emergency call system provided via a personal pendant alarm and call points in the bathrooms, and lift access to all floors.
It is a condition of purchase that all residents must meet the age requirements of 60 years.
