Regular bus services to the centre operate from directly outside the development.

Service Charge - . Onsite House Manager covering Monday to Friday

. Electricity, heating, lighting and power to communal areas
. 24-hour emergency call system

The service charge does not cover external costs such as your Council Tax, electricity or TV. Find out more about service charges please contact your Property Consultant or House Manager.

The service charge is £158.05 per month (£1896.61 per annum) for financial year end 31/08/2023

Contingency Fund - It is a specific fund kept in the development's own bank account. It is held in trust and used only on the maintenance of that development and cannot be accessed by McCarthy Stone for its own purposes. It is there to benefit all residents and is used to pay for the replacement of carpets and furniture in the shared areas as well as longer term repairs like roofs, window frames and lifts.

We believe it is the best way to protect residents from unexpected costs like a major refurbishment or structural repairs.

The service charge includes a small contribution to the contingency fund, but to keep it to a minimum, the fund is 'topped up' by a one-off charge of 1% of the resale price upon the sale of the apartment.

Parking (Permit Scheme) Subject To Availability - Parking is by allocated space subject to availability. The fee is currently £250 per annum.. Permits are available on a first come, first served basis. Please check with the House Manager on site for availability.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
