Very sought after TWO BEDROOMED Retirement property for the OVER 60'S in this development in the heart of CHESTER close to GROSVENOR PARK and the RIVER DEE. Fourth floor with great south westerly views. MCCARTHY STONE DEVELOPMENT with ROOF TOP TERRACE.
Forest Court - This McCarthy Stone development, Forest Court, takes its name from Forest Street, which lies at the rear of the development and is just around the corner from Foregate Street, one of the city's main thoroughfares with all of the shops, cafes, restaurants and other amenities you would expect of a bustling city. Within 100 yards of the development lies the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, demonstrating Chester's origins as a Roman fortress. Almost opposite you will find the entrance to Grosvenor Park where you can walk through the tranquil gardens and enjoy the sounds and sights of the River Dee.
The development has a dedicated House Manager on site during the day to take care of things and make you feel at home. There are solar panels to assist in the water heating.
