THE PROPERTY
The development of Peelers Court offers lift and stair access to all floors, a secure entry system and 24-hour emergency call facilities, together with an on-site Development Manager who organises a range of social activities. Residents also benefit from a communal lounge with kitchenette, laundry room, guest suite, mobility scooter storage and a first-come, first-served parking area. Occupancy is for those aged 60 and over (55 for a second occupant).

Positioned in the left wing of the building, the apartment enjoys a light-filled corner setting with a longer internal hallway, creating a greater sense of space and privacy. Facing north and east, it benefits from good natural light and pleasant outlooks towards the gardens and distant countryside. Slightly larger than many within the development, the property has been well maintained, with both bedrooms recently redecorated and fitted with new carpets. The apartment also offers ample storage and the added convenience of a private washing machine.

The accommodation includes an entrance hall with a separate cloakroom WC, fitted with a vanity basin, wall-mounted electric panel heater, heated towel rail and an obscure glazed window. An inner hall provides additional storage, including a cupboard housing the modern electric hot water system.

The dual-aspect living/dining room is bright and comfortable, with glazed doors leading into a square fitted kitchen offering a range of cupboards and work surfaces, inset hob, built-in oven with extractor hood, tiled splashbacks and space for a fridge freezer and washing machine. A window above the sink overlooks the gardens.

There are two bedrooms, the principal being a generous double with fitted wardrobe, while the second bedroom provides flexible use as a guest room or hobby space with built-in storage. The shower room comprises a shower enclosure, vanity basin with storage, WC, heated towel rail, extractor fan and downflow wall heater.

Outside, residents enjoy well-maintained communal gardens with lawns, borders and seating areas, providing a pleasant setting in which to relax.
