Stone Lane, Kinver

A beautifully presented one bedroom retirement apartment occupying a first floor position within this prestigious McCarthy & Stone development and being just a short walk from the plentiful amenities that the village of Kinver has to offer.

19 Lowestone Court is one of just 38 apartments built exclusively for the retirement market, with design features such as underfloor heating, raised height electric sockets to reduce bending, illuminated light switches, secure door entry and 24 hour emergency call facilities. The development includes attractive communal gardens for all to enjoy, whilst parking is available within a private and secure resident’s car park subject to an annual fee. A resident’s lounge on the ground floor provides a great space to socialise with friends and family and, for a fee, a guest suite is available to book should anyone wish to extend their stay. Lowestone Court provides the benefit of owning your own home but free from the worries of external maintenance or gardening and with the added convenience of having onsite support from the house manager should you require help with anything.

Upon entering the communal reception hall, access to the first floor can be gained either by stairs or lift, from where the front door to the apartment can be found. The entrance hall to the apartment is fitted with an intercom entry system and has doors off to the bedroom, the living/dining room, shower room and a useful utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine. The bedroom is generous in size and has a double glazed window to the rear elevation and a useful walk-in wardrobe. The shower room is fitted with a walk-in shower enclosure, concealed cistern WC, wash basin with vanity cupboard below, radiator towel rail and an extractor unit. The living/dining room is fitted with a wall mounted electric fire, has a door to the kitchen and double glazed French doors opening out to a balcony with views across the parking area and communal gardens. With a double glazed window to the rear elevation, the kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units with roll top work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel single drainer sink unit with mixer tap, built in electric oven and hob with extractor hood above, separate extractor unit and an integrated fridge freezer and slimline dishwasher.
