Show more "This small development is situated in the peaceful conservation area of Old Yardley, featuring the 11th century St Edburgha's Church and the black and white timbered Trust School, built in the 15th century. It was built in 1903, modernised in 1988 and consists of eight bungalows and two flats, as well as a cosy residents' lounge. This is a classic design for almshouses, dwellings being built in a u-shape around attractive gardens. Despite the age of the development, the dwellings have all mod cons including gas fired central heating and secondary double glazing.There is a part time scheme manager and every dwelling benefits from an alarm that is connected to a round the clock central control for out of hours emergencies. 24 hour video surveillance is also provided for extra reassurance. Old Yardley Park is a short walk from the development." Show less
