The grounds, which are totally enclosed, are approached by a driveway and the cottages are grouped around a private road. There is a communal hall which is centrally placed and is used for a very full programme of social events.The cottages which are all large enough to provide single or double occupation are maintained and decorated by the Trust.

Coin operated washing and drying machines are available for use by residents in the laundry. | | Info updated: | 22/08/2007. |
