Flat 15 is a light and airy first floor apartment occupying a good position in the building with views over the communal grounds.

The residents of Forbes Place enjoy extensive well-maintained communal grounds and perhaps one of the most notable features is a magnificent wisteria which covers almost the whole of the lower facade of the building and interestingly is probably one of the only Listed shrubs throughout the country.
