Number 6 Laurel Gardens is a very fine Retirement Home for the discerning buyer that will enjoy this highly regarded complex of just eight similar houses. Its designed for the over 55's considering the transfer from family home and downsizing, but allowing plenty of space, light and ease of moving around. Its cleverly thought out with bedrooms and shower rooms on both floors, so the stairs are not an issue. Room here for visitors too.
The development is tucked away on the edge of Timsbury village surround by beautiful gardens you can enjoy, full of flora and fauna. A wonderful location with a village full of amenities, more than most and then you are within just 30 minutes of the cities of Bath and Bristol and the Airport by car.
The property has a large overhanging glazed roof at the entrance, allowing you time to enter the property protected from the elements, and space to charge a buggy or store items if needed. The large entrance hall is wonderful with its vaulted ceiling and skylight so its full of light and room to move around. A large storage cupboard to one side.(maybe space to add a lift possibly), you find two more additional cupboards here too. Across the hall is the Living Room and cleverly its at the front with French doors so you can look over the communal gardens and see when visitors arrive. Just behind is a generous Kitchen/Dining Room with ample space to cook, plenty of room for appliances and then a lovely area at the end with windows to both sides where you can have a dining table overlooking your very own back garden.
Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a wonderful recently fitted En-suite Shower Room. We are talking high specified, with a non slip floor, walk in Shower cubicle with a mobile thermostat water control(turn the shower on from your bed if you wish to get it warmed up!) A vanity unit with wash hand basin and an electronic touch mirror over. Even the toilet has a touch sensor flush operation. What a room!
Ascend the stairs and there is a lovely long landing with a banister and enough space to position a chair and have a reading corner. You will discover the generous second bedroom also with a fitted double wardrobe. There is a Shower room on this floor, fully fitted out with a mixer shower part of three piece suite. At the end of the landing is a Study/Occasional Bedroom, a great room position a desk or make into a dressing room. To the side is a large eaves door which gives easy access into a long boarded loft area with a light. No struggles here to put thing and retrieve them.
Heading outside you will find the rear garden that is southerly facing, bathed in light with a wooden pergola over the patio to give some protection and space for hanging baskets. There is lawn, an out side tap and light. There is wooden fence to the rear and open borders to the sides. Climbing plants such as wisteria and others adorn parts of the fencing and create colourful blooms.
The Front Garden is similar with a lawn area to step out onto from the Living room with a Beech hedge border and pathway. At the entrance to Laurel Gardens is a Car Park and this property has its own allocated space numbered 6.
To note here the residents are friendly and happy they also respect your privacy so it has a very nice ambience about the place.
