Howard Court is one of the most sought after retirement developments in the area.

Standing in a prominent position within tree lined grounds and completed by McCarthy & Stone, Howard Court offers a secure environment and there are many facilities including a House Manager, 24 hour 'Careline' facility, residents lounge perfect for meetings and functions alongside an adjoining kitchen, laundry room and guest suite that may be reserved for visiting friends and relatives.

This ground floor apartment has the advantage of being on the southerly side of the development and is exceptionally well presented throughout. The naturally light interior includes a spacious living room with the focal point of a period style fireplace and a French window which opens onto the paved rear terrace. Double opening small pane doors lead to the adjoining fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and views across the delightful communal gardens. The superbly proportioned bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and also overlooks the manicured lawns. Completing the accommodation there is a refitted contemporary tiled shower room/WC.

A fine apartment perfectly positioned and available with early possession.
