The twelve one-bedroom apartments in Paterson House, located on Sefton Road received a large amount of applications within 2 weeks of announcing their availability. The apartments have been so popular due to how they are purpose built for young people in work or apprenticeships, who have an aspiration to live in high quality and affordable accommodation whilst working in businesses in the local area.
Paterson House offers accommodation that enables young people to live independently in a high quality environment with like-minded young people in work, the apartments are on the market £338.00 per month excluding service charges and amenities.
