Communal benefits include a residents’ lounge, laundry, passenger lift, house manager, overnight guest suite and Careline emergency call access.
The property is compact at about 438 sq ft, designed for easy maintenance and independent living. Off-street parking and a communal garden add practical outdoor space. The area is very affluent with low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — handy for staying connected or hosting visitors.
