These include craft afternoons, coffee mornings, exercise classes, and a range of other gatherings designed to suit a variety of interests, offering excellent opportunities for residents to socialise and stay active.

The property offers well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged accommodation. To the front, an entrance lobby leads into the principal sitting room, a bright and spacious area featuring double sliding doors opening onto the rear courtyard and garden.  The room also benefits from a wall-mounted air conditioning unit, an electric fireplace, and thermal blinds fitted to both the windows and doors.  An opening leads through to the kitchen.
