Property description
A unique opportunity to acquire a first floor apartment occupying arguably one of the most peaceful positions, overlooking adjacent paddock land, within this modern complex designed for the over 55’s. Owners Comments“Kingsmead is a wonderful place to live and I have thoroughly enjoyed this flat for many years. It has beautiful uninterrupted views from every window.”
Introduction
Nestled within the desirable village of Wellow, the residence is conveniently located in close walking distance of local shops, the village hall, tennis club and bus routes to both Southampton and Salisbury. The residents adopt a share of the freehold ensuring expenditure is well controlled whilst the building and gardens are well maintained to enable them to enjoy an active lifestyle.
DescriptionA UPVC glass panelled door leads into the communal entrance hall with a stairwell providing access to the first floor communal landing reaching the front door. The entrance hall provides access to the large airing cupboard containing new tank, immersion heater and pump, and to the large storage room which could be used as a study or walk-in wardrobe/storage. The flat has recently been redecorated throughout. The living room benefits from generous dimensions and enjoys views over the adjacent paddocks. A doorway leads to the well fitted magnet “Shaker Cream” kitchen with matching eye and base level units, integrated appliances and worktops. The main bedroom also enjoys views over the paddock and has ample room for bedroom furniture and is supplemented by a recently refitted shower room.
OutsideThe substantial courtyard garden with seating area is a peaceful haven where residents can relax or socialise. There are beautifully arranged attractive mature gardens with extensive lawns and parking for residents and visitors.
