The block is set in well-maintained communal grounds and a car park provides off road parking for residents and visitors. Further benefits include a newly installed gas combi boiler (this being one of only a handful of retirement developments locally with gas central heating) and a recently extended lease, which is not affected by doubling ground rent issues.

This delightful apartment is offered for sale with vacant possession and no forward chain.
