Apartment 10 enjoys one of the most desirable positions within the development. Situated on the ground floor, it offers excellent accessibility and ease of day-to-day living. However, thanks to Brooklands House's unique tiered design, this is far from a typical ground floor apartment. Instead of opening onto a patio, the living room leads onto a walk-out balcony, providing an elevated outlook and a greater sense of privacy while still offering the convenience of ground floor accommodation, a truly unique feature that sets this apartment apart.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide comfortable, low-maintenance living. An inviting entrance hall leads through to a spacious living and dining room, where uPVC double doors open onto the private walk-out balcony, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a wonderful space to relax. Adjoining the living room is a contemporary fitted kitchen, well equipped for everyday cooking.

The generous double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the modern shower room features level, anti-slip flooring for comfort and practicality. A useful storage and utility cupboard provides valuable additional space, keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away.

Brooklands House occupies an enviable position on the edge of the ever-popular county town of Stafford. Combining historic charm with excellent amenities, Stafford offers a wide range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and supermarkets, together with excellent transport connections. Adjoining the development is the beautiful Doxey Marshes Nature Reserve, a remarkable 121-hectare wetland oasis offering peaceful walking trails, abundant wildlife, birdwatching opportunities and picturesque open countryside to enjoy throughout the seasons.

Apartment 10 represents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy independent retirement living at its very best; a home where comfort, security and independence are perfectly balanced with friendship, community and an exceptional quality of life.
