Albion Court, Sun Street, Billericay, Essex, CM12

Positioned just off Billericay High Street, in a prime town centre setting, Albion Court, with its beautifully tended grounds, remains a popular choice for those looking for a retirement flat close to all amenities.

It goes without saying that the appeal and convenience of being just steps away from the High Street-and within a matter of a few minutes' walk from Waitrose-ensures its popularity will continue for many years to come.

Overlooking the private communal gardens, this well-proportioned one-bedroom ground-floor apartment enjoys the immense appeal of having a patio door that opens directly onto some those gardens.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall with two built-in cupboards, a refitted shower room with a low-profile shower tray, a bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, and a lounge with a separate dining area and adjoining kitchen. Of course, the patio doors open to an outdoor paved area on the west side of the building.

As with most retirement developments, there are communal facilities. At Albion Court, these include a residents' lounge, which is used for regular social events but is also available for entertaining friends and family; a laundry room with allocated usage times; and a guest suite available by prior booking. There is also a lift to all floors, resident parking, and gardens surrounding the property.

The development is managed by daytime staff, plus there is a 24-hour care call system for round-the-clock emergency assistance.
