Ellis Way, High Wycombe

1 Framers Court is a well presented two bedroom, end of terrace property with both a conservatory and enclosed patio garden, situated in a prime position on Framers Court. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

Framers Court is a beautifully-crafted estate of flint and brick cottages and apartments, built on different levels. The name commemorates a small chair-makers’ workshop that stood there in Victorian times, when that was the principal industry in the area. The estate is tucked into a sheltered hollow just off the high street. There is a lower-garden courtyard with a grand flight of steps leading to a more formal courtyard and then a further flight of steps to an archway and lychgate leading directly to the shops. All the levels are accessible without the need to climb stairs.

Lane End is a pretty village high in the Chilterns with beechwoods and rolling countryside all around. As well as two wonderful pubs, the village has some good shops, a hairdresser, delicatessen and supermarket, and the Village Hall hosts a variety of clubs and societies. This is ideal walking country, with a network of footpaths linking Lane End to nearby villages and making it easy to enjoy the estate's location in the heart of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and right on the doorstep of the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve. Golf enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice, with more than 10 clubs within a 10-mile radius of the estate.

Cognatum Estates maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are on hand to provide support and help when needed, making this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property.  

There is a laundry facility on site and a guest suite provides comfortable accommodation for family and friends.  A minibus service is provided for shopping and other trips.  

The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties. There are no restrictions on owning a property except that one resident must be over 55 years of age.

150 year lease (from 1991). No ground rent.

Please Note: Upon resale of the property, Cognatum Estates management company charge £500 plus VAT for the leasehold pack, payable by the vendor.
