Peaceful Montpelier eco-community 1 bedroom flat

1 bedroom flat available from 1st July 2026 for long-term.

We live in a vibrant, friendly, and creative eco-community. Our 2nd floor flat is part of a building of 5 other flats. We have two neighbouring houses which are mixed living with 5 - 6 housemates. There are around 20 people in the community.

At the back of the property, which the flat looks out onto via a balcony, is a large community garden. Access to this is via the two neighbouring houses and/or the ground and 1st floor garden flats.
