DESCRIPTION

Located within the popular Mondyes Court retirement development for the over-55s, this well-presented ground-floor apartment offers comfortable and convenient living, and is available with no onward chain. Positioned to the front of the main building, the property benefits from a 'personal' patio area, spacious sitting/dining room, a good-sized double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and a well-appointed bathroom.

The accommodation is accessed via an entrance hall, which includes a large storage cupboard housing the hot water tank and providing useful additional storage space.
