- 52 x Studio Flats
- 16 x Studio Flats with shared bathroom facilities
- 33 x One bedroom Flat - including one with disabled facilities

All flats have french doors leading to a balcony or garden area.
You must be between 18-30 yrs old to qualify and most of our flats are for single occupancy although there are some large enough for couples. We are unable to accommodate families or children.
