The apartment itself is centrally located within walking distance of all the town's amenities and in contrast to its peer apartments has its own rear access along with use of a communal terrace.

In addition there is a communal sitting room, in which the residents of Folly Mill Lodge can socialise as much or as little as they wish to, a laundry, a bookable guest suite and residents parking.

The security of the complex is taken very seriously with access to the public through a telephone security entry system, plus there is a Lodge manager who mans the complex on a five day basis.

Accommodation This delightful ground floor apartment lies to the rear of the complex and has a large L-shaped room as its main living space with a sitting area to one end that looks over the terrace to the rear, and the dining area with space for a large dining table to the other end.

To one side there is a well equipped kitchen with integral appliances that include a ceramic hob, an electric oven and a full size fridge freezer with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and cupboards.

The principal bedroom is spacious and has a large mirror-fronted wardrobe, whilst the second bedroom (that could be used as a second reception room if so desired) has a second mirror-fronted wardrobe and overlooks a quiet, secluded, pretty raised garden area.

A fully tiled shower room serves both bedrooms and is equipped with a double sized walk-in shower, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.

The hallway is a good size and has a useful airing cupboard off, with the area between the main body of the accommodation and the door into the complex itself presenting an opportunity to hang pictures and coat hooks, making it a good space to greet visitors.
