Show more "Bowes Lyon Close in Windsor is a development of 44 apartments with shared gardens, residents’ lounge, hair salon, laundry, small library and guest facilities. Located just off Arthur Road near the railway station, the properties are close to local shops, post office, chemist and doctor’s surgery. Alexandra Gardens is close by, plus there’s also a regular bus service into the nearby historic town of Eton, just a 10 minute journey away.

The buildings and grounds maintenance and repairs are all taken care of by your professional on-site manager. Should you need to access further help and support they will also be on hand with advice. There’s plenty of opportunity to get involved with the resident community, with regular events and coffee mornings taking place." Show less
