All main amenities can be found within walking distance of the location with primary and secondary schools, shops, cafe’s, doctors surgery and community hall close by.

The hot water installation consists of an eco-efficient immersion cylinder. Tenants will be provided with instructions and guidance on how to use the heating and ventilation systems.​
