The A34 will take you to the south coast within an hour and a half. The Cotswolds is within a 1 hour drive.

Heron Place has been designed and constructed for modern living. The apartments have Sky+ connection points in living rooms, walk in wardrobes in all master bedrooms, underfloor heating, camera video entry system for use with a standard TV and, for your peace of mind, a 24-Hour emergency call system and mains connected smoke detectors. The homeowners’ lounge is a great space for social events and, for added convenience, there is a Guest Suite which visitors can book into for a small fee (subject to availability). The dedicated House Manager is on site during the day to take care of things and make you feel at home. There’s no need to worry about the burden of maintenance costs as the service charge covers the cost of all external maintenance, gardening and landscaping, external window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates, security and the energy costs of the laundry room, homeowners lounge and other communal areas.
