A beautifully presented and modernised 2-bedroom first floor retirement apartment in this popular complex in the Town centre.
An immaculately presented two bedroom first floor apartment at the back of this quiet development. King's Court is a retirement complex constructed by McCarthy & Stone Developments (Ltd) in 2001. There are 41 one and two bedroom apartments arranged over three floors, with a lift to each floor and a 24 hour emergency Careline system. In addition, there is a communal laundry, guest suite for visitors, and resident’s car park (subject to availability on a first come first served basis). A residents' lounge provides a focal point where events are held for those wishing to socialise, and there are gated landscaped communal gardens/courtyard. The apartment has been well-maintained by the current owners and has the benefit of UPVC double glazed windows and electric heating. Residents must be over the age of 60, or in the event of a couple, one must be over the age of 60 and the other over the age of 55.
Kings Court is conveniently located in the centre of the town, accessed via the central car park or a pedestrian entrance onto Salisbury Street. Fordingbridge has a selection of shops for everyday needs, a building society, library, optician, and health centre within walking distance. Main road links lead to Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton with the X3 bus connecting Salisbury to Bournemouth via Ringwood, with a very regular timetable Monday to Saturday all within a short walk of the apartment.
The main entrance to Kings Court is off the central car park via double gates into its own residents/visitors car park to a large entrance porch with parking and charging point for buggies. To the side of the main entrance is a secure gated access into an attractive south facing brick paviour courtyard with well stocked flower/shrub borders and specimen trees for year round interest. From the courtyard an additional exit via secure gates leads into Salisbury Street. There is a further area of lawned communal garden.
