Thomas Court, Marlborough Road, Cardiff, Glamorgan, CF23 5EZ

This very well presented, first floor retirement apartment is one of the largest apartments within Thomas Court. Along with being dual aspect, it is beautifully presented and has no other apartment on either side, or above it!

Introduction: - Substantially larger than the vast majority of apartments at Thomas Court this is a great potential home for those looking for more space than is normally found in apartment living. Located on the First Floor so away from the general 'hustle and bustle' of the daily activity but convenient to the lift service to all floors. The amount of space is evident immediately you enter the excellent hallway with a window and useful recessed area and continues through to a large lounge/dining room. There is a well-fitted kitchen with a host of integrated appliances and then a particularly spacious 'L'-shaped master bedroom with en-suite facilities, an excellent second double bedroom and a further wetroom.

Thomas Court is in an excellent location providing Home owners with an easy level walk of extensive amenities; The vibrancy of Wellfield Road is about a quarter of a mile distance with it's excellent array of shops, bars and restaurants, Doctors, Library, Roath Park and and bus routes are all also within a similar distance.

The development was constructed in late summer of 2013 by multi-award winning McCarthy Stone, and remains one of our most sought-after developments.
