We renovated the home in 2022, working with a top local interior decorator. Our aim was to create a home that felt truly warm and cosy, with bedrooms that were light and airy but also offered soft comfort. Additionally, we have a large living room which is often used for socialising, relaxing and watching television. Our team are always around to give a helping hand or bring a cup of tea to residents. |
