Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Level walk to the town centre
  • Quiet Location
  • Gated, over 55's development
  • Private Garden plus communal gardens
  • Garage and Car Parking
8 Castle Gardens is part of a development of fifteen properties for over 55’s built by Blue Cedar Homes in 2013. Number 8 is an attached house with rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof with sensibly configured accommodation; emphasis has been placed on adaptability, so for example the downstairs study could easily be converted into a bedroom making use of the adjoining shower room on the ground floor. Internally the property has been finished to a high standard with engineered oak floorboards in the hall and kitchen, underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, good ceiling heights and light and bright accommodation. French doors open from the sitting room onto a terrace and a small garden. Other attributes include gas fired central heating, direct pressure plumbing system, a high standard of finish to the bathrooms and kitchen with granite worktops and Neff induction hob and extractor fan, integrated washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, double oven and a microwave oven.
The property is approached off Bimport, through an electrically operated gate into a brick paved courtyard; No 8 is on the left hand side and faces the delightful communal gardens. It has an attached single garage accessed both from the front and rear and with car parking space outside; in addition there are several spaces for visitor parking. The rear garden has a small paved terrace with grassed area extending at the back and to the side of the property. The communal gardens provide a delightful setting for the development and comprise a variety of mature trees including silver birch and copper beech and well stocked and tended flower and shrub borders. There is a garden house with terracing centrally and secluded seating areas located within the gardens.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 18, 2023

    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 May 18, 2023

    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
