Description

Brand new carpets, bright and spacious, and ready to move into! This superb GROUND FLOOR apartment could be just what you've been looking for. The property is 1 of 38 purpose-built luxury flats at Lydgate Court - designed specifically for the over 55's.

Set in communal gardens, this particular apartment is located towards the rear of the building where there is ample parking. There is NO UPWARD CHAIN and we have a key - so call us to view!

Lydgate Court is located on Abbots Gate, which is situated within easy reach of the town centre and all local amenities. The development is very secure making it perfect for those people wanting to be able to leave their home for periods of time whilst perhaps travelling and enjoying their retirement. The A14 can be easily accessed which leads to Ipswich, Cambridge and London via the M11.

Lydgate Court is designed exclusively for the over 55s and although not sheltered accommodation in the traditional sense, does still have a very useful intercom and emergency system in each apartment connecting to a 24 hour, 365-day monitoring station. The building is set in attractive communal gardens with ample parking. Amenities include a Residents Lounge and Library/Meeting room.

This particular apartment is located on the ground floor, towards the rear of the building and close to the residents parking.

The accommodation is served by gas fired central heating and uPVC sealed unit glazing. The spacious entrance hall has 2 storage cupboards including 1 which houses the gas fired combination boiler. The sitting room is large enough to take a dining table and opens up into the kitchen.

The kitchen is fully fitted with an integrated fridge freezer, double oven, hob, and hood. It is worth noting that this is one of the few apartments at Lydgate Court which has a window in the kitchen - something most people prefer. There is a spacious bathroom, which has been converted into walk-in shower. There are 2 good sized bedrooms, the larger of which has extensive built-in wardrobes.
