DESCRIPTION

Greenacres is an established development for those over 60 years of age, set in the heart of leafy Wellswood and comprises thirty-four properties arranged over four levels. This apartment is situated to the front of the development at first floor level and benefits from a tastefully recently re-fitted kitchen, having recently undergone a program of redecoration and improvement. The well regarded development features lift access, a communal residents lounge and conservatory which opens onto extensive terracing and the landscaped gardens. Greenacres stands on a tree lined road just a stone's throw from the local village shops in Wellswood with delicatessen, restaurants and pub whilst the picturesque Meadfoot Beach can be found within a reasonable walk through the beautiful Ilsham Valley.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Having lived in my previous home for many years I started to find that the large garden was getting a little too much for me and so decided that the time was right for me to make a move. A lifestyle change and an apartment seemed the obvious choice and I am so very glad that I did this. After looking at a number of developments I eventually realised that Greenacres offered everything that I was seeking and as soon as I walked into the building I knew that I had found my new home - a well-proportioned apartment in a quality development which is situated in a highly regarded location, and I still very much retain this opinion after being fortunate enough to have lived here. Greenacres is a very friendly apartment block with a strong social network, with a variety of events and activities available should you wish to partake. Alternatively, can offer private independent living if preferred. I now feel that it is time for me to start another chapter in my life and am looking forward to being able to move closer to my family, giving a new owner the opportunity of enjoying all that Greenacres is able to offer."
