Property description & features

  • 1 Bedroom Retirement Apartment
  • South-Facing Balcony
  • 21 Foot Bedroom
  • Ideal Town Centre Location
  • Warden Assisted Development
  • Landscaped Communal Gardens
A wonderful bright and spacious retirement apartment, ideally located in Sidmouth, close to the town centre and a number of local shops and amenities.

Presented to a high standard throughout, this particular apartment has a private south-facing balcony, offering a pleasant 'leafy' outlook across the nearby rooftops and Sidmouth's Byes Riverside Park, which also provides a lovely place for nearby walks.  Internally, there is a spacious living room with sliding doors to the balcony, a well-appointed kitchen, a bathroom and a 21' bedroom.  This is only one of two apartments within the building offering this highly desirable layout.  

Homemeadows House is a bespoke retirement complex, with many other facilities which include a large residents' lounge where events such as coffee mornings and fish and chip suppers take place, private gardens and a parking area for residents and their visitors.  There is a live-in warden who looks after the running of the building and is on hand for the residents and all apartments are equipped with emergency pull cords for added assurance.  We understand that all the accommodation and facilities are designed with wheelchair access in mind and all floors within the development can be accessed from the lift.  

To fully appreciate all this property has to offer, internal viewing is highly recommended.

The front door of the apartment opens into a private entrance hall, which has doors leading to the living room, the bathroom and the bedroom. There is a control panel for the intercom system mounted to the wall.

Living Room - 14' 4'' x 11' 5'' (4.38m x 3.48m)
This bright and spacious living room has double glazed sliding doors, leading to the private balcony, an opening to the kitchen, and a door to the walk-in storage cupboard. There is a wall mounted electric storage heater and there are two wall lights.

Balcony

Storage Cupboard - 3' 6'' x 3' 1'' (1.06m x 0.934m)
This walk-in cupboard houses the water tank and provides a useful space for coat-hanging, footwear and the all-important items such as ironing boards and vacuum cleaners.

Bedroom - 21' 0'' x 8' 9'' (6.4m x 2.66m)
An exceptionally well-proportioned bedroom with a South-facing window providing plenty of natural light. There is a fitted double wardrobe and a wall mounted electric storage heater.

We understand that there are regular social events, which include coffee mornings and take-away meals. There is a library area, games corner and a selection of films which can be enjoyed by the residents.

Grounds, Parking and Garden
The landscaped grounds include a charming, well-tended garden that is accessed via French doors from the residents' lounge. There is a car park area, an enclosed courtyard with a number of washing lines, and a further garden area beyond the carpark.

This includes buildings insurance, water, exterior maintenance, use and maintenance of the residents' lounge and other facilities and the live-in warden. It also includes the emergency pull-cord system, which can be found in various places in every apartment and comes complete with pendent that can be worn by residents for added assurance. The property is restricted to over 60's.
