A well-presented one-bedroom, first-floor retirement apartment for the over-60s, situated within the popular Humphrey Court development, close to Stafford town centre. A particularly unique feature of this apartment is its private walk-out balcony, which is the only one of its kind within the development and can be accessed directly from both the living room and bedroom.
The accommodation begins with an entrance hall featuring a useful storage cupboard housing the hot water system, alongside a washing machine neatly concealed within an enclosed cupboard. The spacious living room offers plenty of room for both lounge and dining furniture, with a glazed door opening onto the private balcony, creating a lovely space to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The fitted kitchen comprises a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, an electric oven and hob, extractor hood and sink, with a double-glazed window providing natural light.
The double bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, additional space for bedroom furniture and direct access to the balcony. Completing the accommodation is a modern, fully tiled shower room featuring a generous double shower enclosure, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. The apartment also benefits from underfloor heating and a 24-hour emergency call system for added reassurance.
Humphrey Court has been designed to offer independent retirement living, with a range of communal facilities and services available to residents. These include an on-site House Manager during working hours, a homeowners' lounge providing a space to socialise and attend organised events, and a guest suite available to visiting friends and family, subject to availability. The development also benefits from controlled entry, external CCTV and communal areas maintained through the service charge. This covers external maintenance, gardening, external window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates, security systems and the heating, lighting and cleaning of internal communal areas.
The development is conveniently positioned just off the southern side of Stafford town centre, with Marks & Spencer just a two-minute walk away. A range of other shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, medical facilities and amenities are also within easy walking distance. The town centre can be reached via an attractive riverside walkway, while Victoria Park, with its riverside walks, bowling green and café, is approximately half a mile away. Stafford railway station is also accessible via the park, providing convenient transport links further afield.

Anti Money Laundering & ID Checks
Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £45.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.
