Sandalwood Apartments, Comberton Road, Kidderminster, DY10

Sandalwood is an exclusive development of just twelve individual retirement apartments for the over 65's, comprising an attractive white rendered Grade II Listed property fronting Comberton Road, situated approximately 400 yards from Kidderminster Railway Station and on a bus route into the town centre.

Apartment 2 is a spacious two bedroom ground floor apartment situated at the front of the building, benefiting from a spacious south-facing living room with large full height bay window enjoying plenty of sunlight.

Better still, the flat has an independent access door opening onto a secluded corner of the communal gardens, where the owner can enjoy bringing a chair outside on a sunnny day.

Just off the living room is a well appointed kitchen with granite work surfaces including a height-adjustable sink, plus a full range of Bosch integral appliances to include electric oven, induction hob, steel hood, fridge, freezer, slimline dishwasher & washer/ dryer.

There are two double bedrooms, each with en-suite shower room facilites and each with custom-built pine fitted wardrobes. Both bedrooms are situated to the rear of the apartment facing part of the communal gardens, with the principal bedroom also having a door opening onto a small balcony, positioned to enjoy the morning sun.

The apartment has considerable character, featuring Victorian style wooden-framed sash windows throughout, and is also equipped with underfloor central heating.

Indeed one of the key benefits of life at at Sandalwood is the fact that central heating is included within the service charge, and room temperature can therefore be set to whatever level the occupant may wish, without having to worry about the heating bill.

Near the building's main entrance foyer is a residents' lounge for those who wish to socialise. There is also a small communal dining room with kitchen facilities to the first floor, which can be privately reserved if individual residents wish to organise gatherings with family or friends.

The building is set back behind a gated entrance with well tended gardens and grounds including a communal lawned garden to the rear. There is also a shared residents car park having a limited number of spaces.

Residents of Sandalwood have access to some facilities shared with the neighbouring Holmwood Care Centre, including an on-site warden and various optional paid-for services such as laundry service, handyman and the provision of hot meals.

Tenure is leasehold for a period of 99 years from 1 January 2009, expiring 31 December 2107, subject to an annual ground rent of £250 per annum and service charge of currently £460 per calendar month (£5520 per annum).
