Description

Presented to the market with no onward chain, this well-presented one double-bedroom retirement apartment enjoys a desirable top-floor position within this popular town-centre development. Available to residents aged 55 and over, the property offers comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation, together with the convenience of lift access to all floors, on-site residents' parking and communal gardens. Its central location also places a range of everyday amenities and local facilities within easy reach, making this an appealing option for those looking for a convenient and low-maintenance lifestyle.

Homechester House was constructed by McCarthy & Stone (Developments) Ltd and comprises 52 properties arranged over four floors, with each floor served by a lift. Residents benefit from the services of a Visiting Development Manager, who can be contacted from various points within the development in the event of an emergency. Outside of the manager's working hours, a 24-hour Appello emergency call system provides additional reassurance and peace of mind.

The apartment itself is approached via an entrance hall, where you benefit from two large storage cupboards, leading through to the spacious lounge and dining area, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. The lounge provides a particularly welcoming space, with plenty of room for comfortable seating and dining furniture and benefits from a southerly aspect, allowing copious amounts of natural light to flood the space and creating a warm, inviting room to relax. The open-style arrangement allows the living area to flow naturally through to the kitchen, while a feature fireplace creates an attractive focal point within the room.

The kitchen is neatly fitted with a range of modern-style white wall and base units, complemented by contrasting grey work surfaces. Its position directly off the living area makes it both practical and sociable, while still providing a defined space for food preparation.

The double bedroom is generously proportioned and offers ample room for a full bedroom suite. Built-in storage provides useful additional wardrobe space, while the window allows plenty of natural light into the room and enhances the bright and comfortable feel.

Completing the accommodation is a modern, neutrally decorated shower room, fitted with a corner enclosed shower cubicle, WC and wash-hand basin with useful storage beneath.

Residents also enjoy access to a communal laundry room, with use included within the maintenance charge, together with well-maintained communal gardens providing an attractive outdoor space. The development further benefits from unallocated on-site residents' parking, adding another layer of convenience.

With its top-floor position, lift access, on-site parking, town-centre setting and no onward chain, this apartment offers an excellent opportunity for those seeking a comfortable retirement property with the added reassurance and facilities associated with a McCarthy & Stone development. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation and the lifestyle on offer.
