It it a two store building with a lift. There is a small car park on site for residents only and free local parking at the end of the driveway.

In all of our Retirement Living schemes we have a Retirement Living Manager on hand to manage the day-to-day running of the scheme and to be there to offer advice, guidance and support with things such as money management or tenancy advice (hours will vary depending on location).

You will be able to live totally independently within your own home, but with the comfort of knowing that you can talk to a member of our team should you need to." Show less
