Centenary Court, Eastwood, NG16

Once the heart of Eastwood’s community, the former Devonshire Drive Primary School has been thoughtfully transformed into an exclusive development for residents aged 55 and over.

Built in 1910 as a Victorian County Infant and Junior School, the building educated generations of local families for a full century before closing its doors in 2010. Today, that legacy lives on through Centenary Court, a name chosen to honour the building’s 100 years of service.

The developers preserved the site’s character, creating a warm, welcoming environment where heritage architecture meets modern comfort. The result is a collection of 19 low-maintenance, energy-efficient apartments designed with ease of living and peace of mind at their core.
Centenary Court is a private development, with security bollards restricting general access, helping maintain a quiet, safe atmosphere for residents. The building also benefits from lift access, ensuring straightforward movement throughout the development.

This particular apartment is a well-proportioned duplex home, arranged across the top two floors of the building. Its layout offers flexibility, privacy, and an excellent sense of space, ideal for those who appreciate generous accommodation without the upkeep of a traditional house.

On the main floor, a central entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms. The open-plan kitchen and living area is bright and inviting, offering ample space for everyday living and relaxing. Also on this level is a comfortable bedroom, a modern shower room, and the staircase leading to the upper floor.

The top floor forms a private, self-contained suite. Here you’ll find a spacious living area that is officially the master bedroom, accompanied by its own bathroom. This upper level also benefits from additional built-in storage, making the space highly practical as well as peaceful, an ideal retreat at the end of the day.

The property further benefits from a designated parking space, offering convenience and reassurance for residents and visitors alike.

Centenary Court occupies a particularly convenient position within Eastwood, with everyday amenities close at hand. The high street is just a short, level walk away and offers a useful selection of shops, cafés, supermarkets, and services, making day-to-day living pleasantly straightforward. A doctor’s surgery and pharmacy are also within easy reach, providing reassurance and accessibility for residents. For those who enjoy getting out and about, the development is well served by excellent public transport links, with regular bus services to Nottingham, Derby, and Mansfield, ideal for visiting family, attending appointments, or simply enjoying a change of scenery without the need to drive.

Residents benefit from a peaceful setting, secure entry, well-kept communal areas, and a friendly atmosphere throughout the development. It’s an ideal option for those wishing to downsize or enjoy a more manageable home, while still feeling connected to the local community.

Centenary Court is more than just a place to live, it’s a chance to become part of a location with deep roots in Eastwood’s history, thoughtfully reimagined for comfortable, modern retirement living.
