Far View One is in a great location, close to all the amenities but in a quiet area. The apartment is very spacious with ample storage space. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.

Location perfect for town, common and walk to the harbour. Sea also not far away. Apartment nicely and tastefully equipped. Being on the ground floor was good and my husband’s mobility scooter to be in the garden.
