Property description
A beautifully presented two double bedroom apartment in a recently constructed purpose built building for the over 55‘s by McCarthy and Stone. City centre location. Electric heating and double glazing.
Why You‘ll Like It
Constructed approximately two years ago, this purpose built apartment has been designed as the ideal place for those over 55 (which is the minimum age for occupation). McCarthy and Stone, the builders are renowned as experts in this type of accommodation and really have thought of everything. The communal areas of the property have been carefully planned to encourage a sense of community with a sumptuous residents lounge with conservatory, a communal laundry facility and sup welcoming entrance hallway. There are lifts in the building and although this apartment is technically on the ground floor there is a basement level where some of the facilities are located including the secure indoor mobility scooter storage and charging room. There is also a lift to transport you to street level making the relatively short walk or ride into the city centre a joy. There are other great touches too, there‘s a bookable guest suite for friends and relatives to come and stay in and there is a house manager for the day to day running of the building and as a point of contact. The property is also equipped with a pull cord system for peace of mind.
Where It Is
The city provides all the facilities that you would expect with excellent independent shops, cafes and restaurants as well as chain stores. Transport links are excellent with regular buses and the main line train station to London Paddington and the north of England. Although in the heart of the city, gorgeous rural and river walks are close at hand. Sport facilities are just up the road at the Sir Ben Ainslie sports centre, where there is also a 25m pool.
