An extremely desirable 2 bedroom ground floor apartment in this exclusive retirement development of just 27 individual properties with the most beautiful landscaped courtyards and just a short walk from all village amenities.
With a private garden, 2 bathrooms and a garage
Sold with no onward chain.
Stonegate is a superb development of just 27 individually designed properties set around two beautifully landscaped courtyards designed by a Chelsea Flower Show Gold Award winner. Security and safety of residents has been of particular note in the design, with personal 24 hour emergency alarms and smoke alarms, as well as a part time manager. A condition of occupancy is that the principal resident has to be at least 55 years of age. The management company and freeholder is Grange Management Limited. A noteworthy feature to the development is the Club House , with regular art class, coffee mornings and exercise class. This can also be booked for private function by leaseholders.
A guest suite is available to both residents and their families, together with the croquet lawn.
12 Stonegate enjoys a private access via a vibrant red door and pillared stone storm porch. To the front is a shingled garden with wrought iron fence surrounding that provides further privacy for the front facing windows.
Inside the accommodation is generously arranged. Both the bedrooms represent comfortable double proportions and the main bathroom is complimented by a further en-suite shower room, assigned to the master bedroom.
The living accommodation flows front to back with a large sitting room leading to a partly open plan dining room, kitchen and then breakfast room to the rear.
Access from the French doors leads to the private garden.
Other information:
A new consumer unit was installed and an Electrical Safety Certificate was issued in March 2023.
A modern Gas boiler was installed in October 2018 and has been serviced annually.
The property benefits from a functioning alarm system.
Tenure and Service Charge
The property is leasehold for the term of 999 years from 1996 at a peppercorn annual ground rent. The freehold interest is held by the management company (Grange) and the monthly management charge is in the region of £360pm.
As part of this charge, a morning manager is on hand to assist residents two days a week (which we understand is currently being extended to 5 days a week), but does not live on site.
Grange is responsible for the building’s insurance. They also arrange for window cleaning, refuse collection, alarm and surveillance systems as well as tending to the communal grounds and gardens. Pets are allowed, subject to the agreement of Grange.
Situation
The property is situated just off Bridge Street within the conservation area and walking distance to all village amenities. Wye is a charming village which benefits from great shops - including coffee shops, restaurants and pubs, butcher, Co-op, beauticians, organic farm, Post Office, local award-winning vineyards and hairdressers. There is also a Farmers Market on the first and third Saturday of the month, a doctors’ surgery, a dentist and well regarded schools (Lady Joanna Thornhill and Wye Free School). Wye also boasts its own station offering a fast and early morning commuter train to London St Pancras (37 minutes). There is a frequent bus service to Ashford and the train line provides the most convenient link to Canterbury. It has excellent road links to Ashford on the A20 and Canterbury via the A28. Ashford Town has further shopping and educational facilities including private and grammar schools, a McArthur Glen Outlet and a Waitrose. Historical Canterbury is twelve miles away with its magnificent Cathedral, dating back to 597AD, in its centre. Wye itself is set in the North Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are plenty of public footpaths to make exploring the area very accessible.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 16, 2021
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

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 December 21, 2021
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 August 19, 2014 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.
