OUR VIEW: âHaving its own courtyard, which is accessed via steps down from the communal garden, means that this lower ground floor apartment effectively has its own front door. This means that if having to wander through the communal areas of the building, and using the internal lift or stairs, isn't your thing, then you - and your visitors - can come and go independently of everyone else. The flat itself, which is specifically for those who are at least 55 years of age, has a double bedroom, a charming open-plan split-level kitchen and living room, and an attractive shower room. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, a guest suite, a laundry room (no extra charge for usage), a five-mornings-a-week estate manager and a 24-hour emergency call system.â Martin G. Haigh
