Humphrey Court - Humphrey Court is located just off the south side of Stafford town centre, in a residential area, close to other sought after apartments and houses. The largely pedestrianised town centre can be reached along the attractive riverside walkway. Supermarkets, medical surgeries, churches, cafes, restaurants and the cinema are merely a few minutes by foot or mobility scooter from Humphrey Court. Victoria Park is around half a mile away, with river, bowling green and a popular cafe. Stafford railway station is also easily accessible through the park. Shugborough Hall and Cannock Chase lie a few miles to the south of the town, and are perfect for a day out in the country.
Humphrey Court has been designed to take the hassle out of home ownership. Apartments have a laundry cupboard with washer/dryer, underfloor heating, Sky/Sky+ connection points in living rooms and most have a walk-in wardrobe. The House Manager is on site during working hours to ensure the complex runs smoothly. The service charge covers the cost of all external maintenance, gardening, external window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates, security systems and heating, lighting and cleaning of the shared internal areas. This is completely transparent, and any large items of expenditure required are subject to tender. Visitor access to the building is controlled by the homeowners, each apartment has a 24-hour emergency call system, and there is CCTV outside, so you can feel safe and secure. The Homeowners' lounge provides space to meet friends and family, and is the setting for social events organised by homeowners, such as film nights, coffee mornings and birthday parties. Socialising with others is entirely optional, and Humphrey Court offers a way of living where you can retain your independence, yet not feel alone.
Visiting guests can book to stay in the Guest Suite (usually for a fee of £25 per night - subject to availability). It is a condition of purchase that residents must be at least 60 years old.
Entrance Hall - Front door with letter box and spy hole opens into a welcoming entrance hallway. The security door entry system and 24-hour emergency response pull cord system is wall mounted in the hall. Smoke detector.
