OUR VIEW: “Over recent years, lots of improvements have been made to this development of apartments for the over-55s, and this has made a really positive difference to the way the whole place feels. Originally built as three large town houses, for the Georgian gentry, and previously used as a school (one of its former pupils gave the development its name), the building was converted in 1978 into 28 privately-owned flats, a guest suite, a lovely residents' lounge, a free-to-use laundry room, attractive gardens and a parking area to the rear. There is an estate manager who visits regularly during the week, and a 24-hour emergency call system is in place, so the flats tend to appeal to those who enjoy independent living but who would like the peace of mind of knowing that help is at hand should it ever become necessary.” Martin G. Haigh
