It is run by the Platform Housing Group and has a deserved reputation for the way it's run and for its facilities, which include an IT suite, library, restaurant, bar, lounge, coffee shop, craftroom, a health and beauty salon, games room, conservatory and even a village hall function room. There is something for everyone and a real community spirit. Just along the corridor from the apartment is a guest suite which can be booked, along with a bathroom with step-into bath for the use of residents. There is also a weekly laundry service, with clothes collected and returned to individual flats, at extra cost.
