Situated with views towards the High Street you gain a real sense of the community whilst being quietly tucked away within the quadrangle – the best of both worlds!
The lounge/dining room has a large picture double glazed window and ample space for a dining table. There is a useful store cupboard which houses the hot water tank and provides useful airing space; whilst an archway leads through to the kitchen which is fitted with a range of fitted wall and base units with space for cooker and fridge/freezer. The kitchen also has the advantage of a window overlooking the front making it light and airy.
The double bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and again overlooks the quadrangle. The modern shower room has a walk in shower cubicle, low level wc and vanity unit with inset wash basin.
Home Abbey has an elegant resident’s lounge; a laundry with modern appliances and day time warden present to help with any concerns.
Outside there are beautifully kept communal gardens with benches offering the opportunity to soak up the views across the river and perhaps feed the ducks. There is also a rotary line drying area and bin store and the whole rear grounds are fully secure.
Specifically designed by quality Retirement Home Develops, McCarthy & Stone, and managed by First Port, Home Abbey has a range of apartment styles over three floors all serviced by a lift and 24 hour careline response system.

We use these technologies to provide, protect and improve PropertyHeads, as well as to understand and measure how you use and interact with it.

What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file containing a unique identifier that is placed in the web browser of your computer or mobile device. Cookies and related technologies, such as tracking pixels, enable our systems to recognize your device and report information back to us. Such recognition helps the efficient operation of PropertyHeads, including our website and apps.
Does PropertyHeads Use Cookies?
Yes, like most websites and social networks, we use cookies in the course of providing you with our Services.
What Cookies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.
We use a session cookie to identify you during a particular visit to PropertyHeads. Session cookies expire after a short time, or when you close your web browser or app after using PropertyHeads.
We use a persistent cookie to identify you over a long period of time. (For example, if you asked us to keep you signed in, we would use a persistent cookie for that purpose.) Persistent cookies remain on your device for the set period of time specified in the cookie.
We use cookies to operate and improve PropertyHeads, specifically:
To authenticate you and secure our Services: We use cookies to monitor login, session and status data. This allows us to know, for example, whether you are logged in.
To remember your settings and preferences: We use cookies to recognize your browser and remember your preferences. For example, we may use cookies to remember your language preferences.
To carry out analytics and research: We use cookies to understand your use of PropertyHeads and how we can improve our offerings. For example, we use cookies to track whether you open emails we send you.
Third-Party Cookies:
Facebook: If you register or sign in using Facebook, a Facebook cookie is set to help track your log-in.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, including Google Analytics cookies, to collect anonymous traffic data to help us analyze how members and visitors access and use PropertyHeads, and for other Analytics services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Third-Party Cookies From Content Shared By Members: PropertyHeads members may share content on PropertyHeads that originates from a third-party website or service, and that third-party website or service may set its own cookies when you interact with that content. For example, if a member posts a video from YouTube on PropertyHeads, YouTube may set a cookie when you click to watch the video.
What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
