| Some of the features of the purpose-designed building are the wider doors, larger bedrooms with electric beds, televisions and fittings for telephones.
There is plenty of living space as we have 4 lounges and numerous sitting alcoves, all of which have a different outlook and different furnishings. This means that residents can have a changing outlook each day, which adds interest and variety. Our gardens are flourishing with plenty of outdoor seating allowing sunny spots to sit. |
