Taylors Field, Driffield

A rare opportunity to acquire a self-contained ground floor apartment with direct access onto the communal gardens of Taylors Field and partial views onto Driffield Recreation Club. This is a larger style apartment which includes two bedrooms. The apartment has been improved to include modern electric heating.

The interior of the property is perhaps in need of some updating, however, offers are invited to reflect this.

Taylor's Field is a regarded development for the Over 55's and provides attractive self-contained accommodation together with communal facilities and lift to upper floors.

The management fee covers the maintenance and management of the communal areas, including the car parking area, gardens, buildings insurance, external decoration, window cleaning, Careline system, and bin cleaning.
A contribution is also made to a sinking fund (reserves) to cover future capital works-such as the recent replacement of the car park lighting.

The on-site warden/manager is available three days a week-Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. While her primary responsibility is the management of the Apartments, she is also happy to assist cottage residents with any queries.
Outside of these times, the managing agents, Watson's, are responsive to any issues that arise. Additionally, there is a coffee morning held each Wednesday in the residents' lounge, which cottage residents are welcome to attend.


COMMUNAL FACILITIES

Taylor's Field benefits from a residents lounge, separate guest bedroom, laundry room (use of hot water and washing machines) and in-house manager.

The residents' lounge is primarily intended for use by Apartment residents. However, cottage owners do occasionally use it for meetings and social events. When the warden/manager is on site, there has generally been no difficulty in arranging access, though at other times, entry depends on an Apartment resident being available to provide access, as cottage owners are not issued keys.


An Emergency Lifeline facility is available within the apartments.

PETS

We are advised that owners of property within the development are allowed pets, subject to being granted permission. An application form should be completed and a small fee payable for consideration. Any permission granted is on the strict understanding that this can be revoked in the event of the pet becoming an unreasonable nuisance to other occupants within the development.
