Communal areas
A friendly atmosphere pervades creating a lovely environment if you wish to engage in neighbourly conversation within the communal lounge or at the reception hall seating area, and you can extend this to join in pre-arranged social events. The communal grounds are a good place to soak up the sun and to just enjoy listening to the sounds of soft summer breezes blowing the leaves of the gorgeous tree. And the large communal paved area is a great way to dine alfresco or to sit and read a good book or magazine. A screened communal drying area is also within the garden, and to the boundary of the grounds is car parking.
The finer details
We are informed that the service charge is around £2,282 covering water and buildings insurance. And ground rent is approximately £137 for 6 months. In the communal laundry room you have the use of a washing machine and tumble dryer for a nominal charge. Independent living means that although you cook your own meals etc., you can order your groceries online for home delivery via the local Tesco superstore, as some residents do, or even arrange a Meals on Wheels service.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
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
