Description
A highly desirable south / west facing 2 bedroom ground floor retirement apartment with its own patio in a sought-after development close to town. EPC: C
Peelers Court - Peelers Court is a highly sought after development of apartments, built to an exacting standard by McCarthy and Stone, offering a convenient and supported lifestyle to those over 60 years of age (in the case of couples, one must be over 60 but the other can be as young as 55). Within the development facilities include a beautifully kept resident's lounge and garden and on-site building manager, a lift to all floors and a 24 hour Careline connected to every apartment. There is also a communal laundry room and a guest suite, and residents' parking is available (subject to availability).
The Property - 10 Peelers Court is considered to be one of the best of its type in the development, being on the ground floor with its own patio and very well located enjoying a sunny south west aspect overlooking the lovely gardens. It is well presented with many improvements/upgrading and enjoys low heating running costs with night storage heating (replaced in 2019 with the then latest Dimplex Quantum version) and sealed unit windows.
There is a good sized reception hall with two cupboards (one larger walk in, housing water heater), sitting/dining room with outside door to its own patio (note - not part of demise), well equipped kitchen with electric hob, cooker hood, oven, fridge and freezer, generous sized double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, second bedroom/dining room/study and an attractive shower room with a large walk-in shower (completely re-fitted and upgraded in 2019).
As a two bedroom option, it does allow an extra degree of future-proofing, whether for a couple to enjoy separate rooms, family/friends staying or a live in carer if required.
The apartment also has the advantage of a lower Council Tax band than some other 2 bedroom units in Peelers Court .
Outside - Peelers Court is famed for its wonderful communal garden which is beautifully landscaped and gives residents the perfect excuse to relax and socialise out of doors when weather allows. There is also the benefit of residents' parking, subject to availability.
