About
This well presented apartment is situated on the first floor of a modern built premier retirement complex, located in an outstanding position about 150 metres from the seafront and some 400 metres from the town centre.
‘St. Aldhelms Court’ was constructed in the late 1990s of brick, the upper elevations being cement rendered with a synthetic tiled roof.
The accommodation is particularly light and has the considerable advantage of a large communal lounge with balcony and sea views and a resident House Manager with a Careline emergency call services.
