It is in walking distance of the local surgery, shops and is on a main bus route into the city. Set back and accessed via a pedestrian walkway on a slight incline, this property has very limited parking, though cars can drop off passengers at the back of the building close to a doorway. There is parking very close to the scheme for the public. The scheme is next to the church and is surrounded by trees." Show lessMain Facts
