Property description & features

  • Two bedroom retirement flat (over 60s)
  • Ground Floor
  • Communal grounds and conservatory
  • Close to the excellent village amenities
  • Ample resident and visitor parking
  • No onward chain
The Giles Gate development is spread across three separate blocks. Number 28 is on the east side, almost opposite the communal lounge and conservatory, and is therefore very centrally located.

The flat is on the ground floor. On entering the apartment the bedrooms are on either side of the hallway with the main bedroom, with fitted wardrobes, on the left, and the smaller bedroom is on the right.

The bathroom is just beyond the smaller bedroom, this has been well-fitted as a wet room which is ideal as older people often suffer with mobility issues and cannot cope with a bath. There is a vanity unit and W.C. on the left of the doorway. The bathroom is nicely appointed.

The sitting room is at the rear of the property with a door out to the communal gardens; many residents on the ground floor take advantage of their position to sit outside their back doors on warm sunny days. The sitting room is across the rear of the flat with an opening leading to a refitted kitchen consisting of cream, gloss, units and integrated appliances plus a decent sized airing cupboard.

The House Manager is available in her office Monday-Friday 9-5 to deal with any matters arising on the development and to offer advice and assistance to residents. She does not offer care. Giles Gate is well-maintained and well-presented having undergone a £50k+ facelift in the summer of 2023. The communal garden is always lovely and there is ample, un-allocated, parking for residents and visitors alike. It is a nice, friendly place to live and convenient for the local shops and social events.

The apartment has gas-fired central heating and double glazing throughout and offers the owner the benefit of independent living, with the comfort of being within a safe and secure community.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 23, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. 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

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 23, 2022

    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
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on March 10, 2017 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
