There are two bedrooms, giving the flexibility of a comfortable principal bedroom alongside a guest room, study or hobby space. A shower room and useful internal storage complete the accommodation.

Outside, Compass Court has an attractive and sociable courtyard feel, with colourful communal planting and seating areas creating a particularly pleasant setting. The wider development also benefits from residents' facilities and warden assistance.
