Broadband speeds are very slow locally and the recorded local crime level is high, which may matter for some buyers. Council tax is inexpensive and off-street parking is available for owners.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking secure, sociable retirement accommodation close to town amenities, who accepts service charges and slower broadband in exchange for on-site support, communal facilities and low-maintenance living.
