Opinion

A compact property squeezed between the Corniche and the waterfront but yet offers a spacious feel. Attractively located in tiered terraces surrounded by neat gardens and the pool deck overlooks the river. Suitable choice for couples with limited child facilities.

Exterior

Steps lead up to a wooden decked jetty structure which extends over the tiered grounds and flat roofed tiered terraces of accommodation. A set of wide steps with tidy balustrades lead down to the single-storey glass-fronted reception building which has large swing glass doors. The property is only visible from the Corniche when adjacent to the entrance.
