Comfortable ground-floor retirement flat in Hale Lodge, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The living room opens onto well-kept communal gardens and the building provides practical on-site support including an on-site manager, a 24-hour care line and a mobility scooter shelter for independent living.
