Spacious low-maintenance apartment with extensive onsite facilities and parking.
25% shared ownership; option to staircase to higher share
This third-floor, purpose-built apartment offers comfortable independent living for the over-65s within a modern 2019 development.

Regular charges apply (service charge c. £3,233.40 pa plus support charge and current rent of c. £406.01 pcm for the 25% share).
