An exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a well-presented retirement apartment lying in town centre position located on the first floor with lift and stair access. Set within this highly regarded and sought-after development for the over 55's only with an abundance of communal facilities including residents lounge, laundry room and having an allocated car parking space, this apartment offers deceptively spacious accommodation which includes entrance to hallway, open-plan lounge, and dining room with French doors onto Juliette balcony with parking immediately under. There is a quality fitted kitchen, two good sized bedrooms, bedroom one with two independent wardrobes. The property is double glazed with electric heating and further attractive communal gardens to the rear with lawns and patio areas directly accessed from the resident’s lounge.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
