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."

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

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 13, 2023

    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
