This top floor, two bedroom retirement apartment is situated in a prime position within this stunning development, having a full length private balcony spanning the length of the apartment with beautiful views.
Introduction - This spacious apartment in prestigious Bowes Lyon Court occupies a prime top floor position with a stunning outlook over the development courtyard entrance from a private balcony spanning the length of the apartment. The accommodation has doors leading out to the balcony from the sitting room and both bedrooms, making this a very light and airy apartment. The heating is underfloor (included within the service charge) and is complimented by an economical 'Vent-Axia' state-of-the art heat recovery (heat exchange) system.
Bowes Lyon Court is a flagship development constructed in late 2016 by multi award-winning retirement homes specialist McCarthy Stone and occupies a commanding position in the heart of Poundbury on Queen Mother Square. This is a retirement living plus development exclusively for those aged over 70. Bowes Lyon Court offers the level of freedom needed to maintain your independence for longer in your own home, and live retirement to the full.
There is a 24/7 on-site team and an Estates Manager, so homeowners receive flexible, consistent support and care where required, in their own home. For added peace of mind, the apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call system. All the external property maintenance including gardening and window cleaning is taken care of. In addition to privately owned luxury apartments the development also offers beautiful social spaces such as a homeowners lounge, a table service restaurant serving a varied, three course daily lunch, café lounge, billiards room, library, orangery, function room as well as a salon and guest suite where visiting family and friends can be accommodated for a small charge.
For those unaware, Poundbury is a unique urban development influenced and overseen by King Charles, reflecting his vision of new communities in the 21st century. There are numerous amenities within walking distance of Bowes Lyon Court including Waitrose, the Duchess of Cornwall Hotel and Restaurant, dentists, a medical centre, and a mature woodland park.
