Elements combines contemporary chic - and a choice of one and two bedroom apartments - with a location in the town of Long Eaton in Derbyshire and its superb communication links.   With its people-friendly pedestrianised centre, bustling marketplace, Long Eaton is extremely well-served for amenities, while the Farmers’ Market on the second Thursday of each month brings local growers and producers to town. Each June and December sees a slice - and the tastes - of the continent with the Continental Markets, while the annual carnival brings summer weekend entertainment from jazz bands to funfair. When it comes to eating out you will find everything from town centre restaurants to relaxed waterside watering holes down at nearby Trent Lock. The West Park Leisure Centre set in beautiful parkland offers sports action from swimming and fitness suite to chill-out time in the saunas, while the town is home to clubs from running to cricket, with Trent Lock Golf Club in Lock Lane offering both 18 and 9 hole courses.

Expansive open space can also be found at the 360 acre Attenborough Nature Centre two miles away, where everything from butterflies to orchids provide bursts of colour amongst the greenery and Elvaston Castle Country Park, just four miles away, is the spot for a refreshing walk amongst 200 acres of woodland. At Elements you are never far from picturesque waterways that meander through historic locks and gentle rolling hills, while Trent Valley Sailing Club, one of the oldest inland clubs in the country with its sailing days and social events is down at the Lock - or make an even bigger splash at Holme Pierrepont Watersports Centre with its world-class water facilities of regatta lake, famous canoe slalom course and water-ski lagoon.
