Description

A very well presented two bedroom ground floor apartment at St John's Court in Tavistock. This spacious retirement apartment is well situated in the front corner of the building and has its own private entrance, which means you can easily access it from the car park without having to go through the main part of the building. It overlooks the gardens to the side so also has a pleasant green outlook with a small patio area to sit out on.

You enter the apartment to a bright hallway with plenty of space and two storage cupboards. To the left side is a sitting/dining room which has a feature fireplace and patio door out to the communal gardens/pathways. Double doors lead in to a kitchen which also overlooks the side and has integrated appliances including an AEG oven. There are two good size double bedrooms, with the main bedroom having double aspect windows and a double fitted wardrobe. The vendors have installed a new shower room which is fully tiled with additional motion sensor lighting and a large walk in shower cubicle, as well as carpeting throughout the rest of the apartment.

St John's Court is a gated development for the over 55s and benefits from an on-site manager, communal lounge and kitchen with regular coffee mornings and groups. There is a communal laundry room and gardens for use of the residents, with plenty of parking. There is also a guest suite available for visitors to rent for a small fee, with residents also able to use other guest suites in McCarthy & Stone developments throughout the country. The development is located within walking distance of the town centre and conveniently close to Abbey Rise doctors surgery and the post office. The apartment is offered to the market with no onward chain and has two emergency pull cords which are linked to a monitored call line for peace of mind.
