OWNER INSIGHT

"My mother has really enjoyed living at Ennerdale for over 18 years but has unfortunately had to move as she is no longer able to live independently. When she moved to the flat she had recently retired and loved that she could walk her dog to Abbey Gardens and the seafront in about 10 minutes. She also loved visits from her friends and family in the large lounge but her favourite thing was to spend time sitting on her balcony chatting to friends and neighbours, or just sitting there quietly with a coffee overlooking the mature gardens."
