31 Garnier Drive, Retirement Village

If you are looking to be in the thick of things, 31 Garnier Drive could be the perfect apartment for you.  Located just along the hall from the main restaurant, you will be just moments away from all the fun activities hosted here, such as Talks on Tuesdays, Whist on Wednesdays and even a monthly Quiz night.   In addition, there are amazing facilities in the Wellness Centre including Pool, Spa, Sauna & Steam as well as organised fitness classes like chair aerobics. 
In the hallway is a storage cupboard housing the meters, utilities are supplied via Anchor and billed monthly, underfloor heating ensures that you will be cosy, with all the rooms individually thermostat controlled.  The living room stretches to over 6m (20') with a remote-controlled electric fire and double doors opening on to the balcony which overlooks the rear gardens.  A glazed door allows the kitchen to be closed off to save any cooking smells spreading through the flat.  The kitchen has plenty of cupboards for storage and integrated appliances, including a fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, combination oven and two-ring induction hob with a fume hood over. 

The bedroom is a generous size with two, three-door wardrobes and central drawers, and space to hang the TV on the wall.  Off the bedroom is the shower room with step free access shower and fitted storage cupboards. There is also a heated clothes airer fitted. 

The apartment is clean and fresh with new carpets throughout, so ready for you to move straight in.
