Location & Description
Morgan Court is a purpose built development for the active retired and is conveniently situated almost equidistant from both the cultural and historic town centre of Great Malvern and nearby Malvern Link, both of which offer a comprehensive range of amenities. In Great Malvern itself there is a Waitrose supermarket, numerous shops and places to eat out, a Post Office and the renowned theatre and cinema complex.

Malvern Link is within walking distance. Here there are Lidl and Co-op supermarkets, a Post Office, various shops and takeaways, Doctors and Dentist surgeries and Malvern Community Hospital. Malverns main retail park is about a mile away. Here there are many familiar High Street names including Marks & Spencer, Boots, Next and others.

The property overlooks Malvern Link common, a lovely unspoilt area of protected ground across which one can walk and admire the fine views of the Malvern Hills that are only about a mile away.

Transport communications are excellent with a mainline railway station at Malvern Link only a few minutes walk away. This provides direct access to Worcester, Birmingham, London, Hereford and South Wales. A regular bus service runs along Worcester Road and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is only about eight miles distant.

Morgan Court is a highly regarded complex originally built by McCarthy and Stone. Only buyers of 60 years or over can purchase this apartment though in the case of couples or partners one partner must be aged 60 or over and the other at least 60 years.

The complex stands in elegant, beautifully maintained communal gardens which are for the benefit of all the residents. There is a resident house manager who is on duty during working hours for five days of the week and there is a twenty-four hour, two way audio alarm system. There is also a security door entry phone system. At ground level there are further communal facilities including a residents lounge and laundry as well as two guests rooms which are available at reasonable rates for visitors of residents. Within the complex there is on site parking, although spaces are not specifically allocated.

Strictly speaking apartment 36 is on the first floor when approached from the main entrance of Morgan Court. However, the configuration of the building does also mean that when entering the building it is listed at third floor level. There is a lift to all floors and the apartment itself has electric low tariff heating, double glazed windows and fitted carpets. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (both with wardrobes) and a shower room with WC. In addition to the wardrobes there are also a number of built in cupboards, ensuring that that property has excellent storage capacity.
