Hampshire Lakes, Birch Grove, Yateley retirement property

Situated in a quiet and private area of Hampshire Lakes retirement village in Yateley, this one-bedroom ground floor Independent Living apartment has much to offer.

An entrance hallway, which contains a large utility storage cupboard with shelving, leads to a bright dual aspect living/dining room with feature fireplace and glazed doors opening to a private patio area, overlooking an attractive garden area. A stylish white kitchen with integrated appliances is sited just off the lounge, which has recently had additional wall and floor units installed and a cover for the hob added, to provide extra worktop space. There is enough space in the living room for a small dining table, plus the underfloor heating control cupboard is sited in this room.

The double bedroom is West-facing and has a four-door fitted wardrobe and a recess with extra hanging space, each with rechargeable magnetic lighting. The bedroom also features a luxury-tiled ensuite shower room with built-in storage. The existing electric adjustable bed can be included in the sale price – it is in virtually new condition. All curtains and blinds can also be included. This attractive apartment has energy-efficient underfloor heating, a new carpet in the lounge and is newly decorated throughout in neutral tones.

We believe in promoting independence with dignity, whilst at the same time striving to maintain and improve your quality of life. We understand that life changes as you get older. There comes a time when some extra assistance may be required to help complete those day-to-day tasks which were once dealt with more easily. The village offers a comprehensive range of housekeeping and personal care services at various hourly rates through our registered homecare service and housekeeping team. This is managed through separate contracts with individual residents.

All residents pay a contribution to the running costs of facilities, support services and maintenance of the building and grounds which is known as the 'service charge'. The deferred sinking fund contribution goes towards a fund which we build up over time to meet the cost of major repairs and refurbishment works which are not covered by the monthly service charge. The contribution is payable on resale.
