Malthouse Court, The Lindens, Towcester, Northamptonshire

Why buy this home...

Malthouse Court was built on the site of a former brewery, close to Towcester town centre. It is a peaceful, purpose built development for the over 55's. It is set in a beautiful, well maintained garden adjacent to the popular Water Meadows and is approached through an impressive stone archway off Watling Street.

The property itself is a two double bedroom, first floor apartment laid out over nearly 750 square feet. As you enter the home you are welcomed by a light and inviting entrance with all rooms leading from this centralised hallway. One of the great selling points about this home is the amount of storage that it provides and you first really notice that in the bedrooms. To the right hand side of the hallway you have the second bedroom, which is a good sized double and benefits from built-in double wardrobes. Next you have the master bedroom, again a spacious double and this has two separate built-in wardrobes, one of which is actually a triple.

Across the hallway is a modern shower room - this room actually doubles up as a utility space as well. The three piece bathroom suite was installed fairly recently by the current owner, and includes a double shower, toilet and hand basin. The utility area has room for a washing machine and a separate tumble dryer should you wish, as well as having worktop space above to store all the other utility room essentials you may need. There is another large storage cupboard spanning the entire width of the shower room, which houses the water tank but also has built in shelving which would be perfect for storing bedding and towels.

The hallway provides an additional full height storage cupboard.

The living room and separate kitchen are located at the end of the hallway - a thoughtfully designed space, as this room has views over the beautifully kept gardens. This room really is a great size and can comfortably host a large sofa, or separate armchairs if you prefer. It also has space for a dining table and chairs, shelving units and bookcases as shown by the current layout. A further double door storage cupboard is situated in the living room. A door from the living room leads onto the balcony, which really is the ideal spot for a cup of tea on a warm summer morning. There is a separate kitchen which has plenty of cupboard space, a built-in oven and microwave and enough room to house a full size dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

Outside, as well as having use of the communal garden space, there is a designated single garage to house your car or simply for extra storage - should you need it!

As this property is located on a development for the over 55's there are some on-site facilities and services available, including a resident Estate Manager, a guest suite for family members to use if you wish, laundry facilities and a gardener for the upkeep of the grounds.
