Admiralty House is steeped in local and military history and you immediately sense the significance of the building as you enter the reception lobby and read the names of the former residents over the centuries including aristocracy and high ranking military commanders. Whilst the building has lost none of this sense of grandeur the apartments have been sympathetically designed for modern living.
