Local Area - Nuneaton is a lively and vibrant town with plenty to see and do.

The town centre boasts extensive retail options, including Ropewalk Shopping Centre and Abbeygate Shopping Centre housing all the high street names. There’s also a large Sainsbury supermarket for all your groceries and home essentials, while the train station is only half a mile away on foot, with regular services to the metropolis of Birmingham in just 28 minutes, and the historic town of Coventry in as little as 22.
