Mulberry Lodge, Bishopstoke Park Retirement Village

Mulberry Lodge, in Hargreaves Walk enjoys the best of both worlds within Bishopstoke Park Retirement Village, away from the hustle and bustle of the main building but just a short stroll across the lawn to access all the amazing facilities and social activities on offer.   There is residents' parking nearby and a shared outside space where you can sit out or enjoy alfresco dining.

The front door opens into the ground floor reception hall, with stairs leading up to the large landing, with a built in cupboard in addition to the utilities cupboard, there is plenty of storage.  The main bedroom has a spacious dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with fitted vanity & storage cupboards.   The bedroom window overlooks the mature mulberry tree (hence the name of the building) which gives nice privacy and often shelter to the local wildlife.  Bedroom two is a very generous double room with fitted wardrobes and across the hall is the main bathroom, again with fitted storage. 

The living room enjoys triple aspect views, with double doors opening onto the small balcony which overlooks the village lawns towards the main building and the historic Mount building.  There is plenty of space for a full size dining table in addition to the lounge suite.  Double doors open to the kitchen which is well appointed with ample storage, including corner carousels, and quality integrated appliances including; dishwasher, slide 'n' hide Neff oven, microwave, induction hob, frost free fridge/freezer and washer/dryer. 

The seller has enjoyed the property since new in 2015 but it is now time to downsize, and she has already earmarked another apartment within the village.
