Over 60's. Independent lifestyle and living in your own ground floor apartment, set within a beautiful retirement development. If you're over 60 and looking for the solution to downsizing from a home that's too big to cope, this could be the perfect opportunity - moving to a 2 bedroom apartment, that gives you all you need and takes away the worry of ongoing maintenance, repairs and further costs on your property. Designed to give people the space, security & independence, yet also offering the choice to become part of the friendly community.
Tucked away from Main Road, a private driveway leads to a good size car park, providing ample room for family and visitors - you then walk into a welcoming entrance reception, that has a security entryphone and an office for the on-site warden, who is available to help with general concerns, most days from 9.30 am - 2.30 pm. For peace of mind you also have 24 hour Careline cover in your own apartment.
A short walk takes you the entrance to your apartment, which opens to a hallway and all your rooms. The bathroom is roomy with a bath and shower fitments and wc.
2 good size bedrooms, with the main bedroom particularly spacious and has 2 fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom has a cupboard housing the Worcester gas fired boiler.
A great feature of the property is a separate, really good size kitchen that has loads of fitted cupboards - the doors could do with an upgrade, but would look super smart with white modern doors - and there are fitted appliances too. Plenty of room to serve up those fabulous home cooked meals!
Walking into the lounge, gives you an open aspect out to the landscaped rear communal gardens. A lovely place to while away those hours - maybe read a book or two?
If you fancy mixing in with the other owners - and you get the feeling of a great community spirit here - the communal lounge gives a chance to meet up and make new friends, enjoy the afternoon/evening social activities - and you can even hold a party here, for any special occasion.
