Property Summary

Set within a well-maintained and thoughtfully managed over-55s development, this apartment enjoys access to a range of communal facilities, including a residents’ lounge and attractive shared gardens, as well as the reassurance of an on-site estate manager. Additional practical benefits include available parking, lift and stairlift access to other floors, and the overall sense of security and community that the development provides.
It presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a comfortable, easily accessible home with significant potential for upgrading and features a well-proportioned double bedroom and a bright, open-plan living space, with French doors that open directly onto the communal gardens, allowing natural light to flood the interior and creating a pleasant, airy atmosphere throughout.

There is also the added benefit of changing it back to a two bedroomed apartment by reinstating the wall between the lounge and current dining area.
