Grade II Listed, the Estate incorporates a recently refurbished Public Leisure Centre, located right in the middle, with tennis & squash courts, gym and swimming pool. The sense of community, promoted by the architecture and design, has made the estate both successful and popular. Crescent House itself is actually Grade II* to show its elevated significance over the rest of the Estate. The architects drew inspiration from Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers of what now is called Modern architecture. Their vision has created a unique urban village community devoid of traffic with immediate amenities. The apartments themselves are cleverly designed to maximise light and space. With incredible foresight, the architects designed Crescent House with 'Spare Rooms en-suite' at the end of the corridor where residents' family and friends can come and stay for a very reasonable rate.
