In 2000, one of the older blocks was demolished and rebuilt. The majority of the older blocks have been extensively modernised with new double glazed windows, fitted kitchens, bath/shower rooms and gas fired central heating. A small number of flats have Economy 7 electric heating. The flats mostly overlook and surround a lovely garden with the social room set at the centre." Show less
