good standard and consist of a living room, kitchen, bathroom and one
bedroom. Some are suitable for double occupation.

The Association looks after internal decoration, external maintenance, winter background heating and TV licence.Rents are very fair.
A part time manager lives on the premises who oversees the day to day running of the complex.
There is an attractive communal garden which residents are encouraged to make use of, and are welcome to look after a small area if they so wish.
From time to time social events are organised, such as coffee mornings, garden parties, and a Christmas event.
There is a small guest room, subject to availability and payment of a modest charge.
