Why you’ll like it:
The Vineries are a smart, low-rise development located on the border of St Ann’s Wells Gardens and Seven Dials. There is wheelchair access throughout and lifts to take you to the upper floors, plus there is a communal lounge for socialising between the residents and staff. There are members of management staff who visit daily to assist with the residents’ needs and there are facilities for guests. Residents also arrange coffee mornings and other social events throughout the year, so there is a wonderfully welcoming community within the building.

This flat sits peacefully on the second floor with well-proportioned rooms with leafy views from double-glazed windows. The principal rooms have soft carpet underfoot and there is ample space for comfortable furnishings, plus a dining table and chairs in the sitting room. The kitchen is well-equipped with storage and appliances, plus it is adjoining, so it is easy to bring food to the table at meal times. Reassuringly, there are alarms fitted to each room to give you peace of mind should you need emergency assistance.

Sharing the same sunny outlook as the sitting room, the bedroom is a lovely double room with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space further. The bathroom is easily accessible across the hall and has a full bath suite with a shower over it, and useful stability handles for getting in and out. There is also a vast storage cupboard for household items, coats and shoes to ensure the flat remains clutter free.

While you have one of the city’s most beautiful parks on your doorstep, there are also manicured communal gardens within the grounds, abundant with wildlife, colour and scent. You can sit out here for social occasions during the summer months or simply drink in the beauty and peace of the space.
