INTRODUCTORY NOTE

8 Flacca Court forms part of an award winning purpose built development of retirement properties completed by English Courtyard Developments in 1996. This exclusive development of just 20 units comprises a mixture of town houses and apartments and in architectural terms has much to commend it being built in an attractive mellow brick with dressed stone detailing and deep decorative barge boards beneath a shallow slate roof with cupolas and weather vane.

On the recreational front the Barbour Institute is a busy venue hosting many clubs and societies and the village has a thriving selection of sports clubs offering football, cricket, tennis, squash, croquet, bowls and a gym.
