Description Millans Court is a highly regarded development of purpose built self contained apartments located just a short level stroll from the centre of Ambleside which is well served by a wide variety of shops, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, churches and a post office. There are good public transport links to the surrounding towns and villages and Ambleside itself occupies one of the most beautiful locations at the head of Lake Windermere with mountain scenery all around.

The apartment is immaculately presented and enjoys a truly delightful top floor location, arguably one of the best in the development, looking almost due south to St Mary's spire and beyond. From the balcony you can admire Wansfell in one direction, and Loughrigg in the other, perhaps with a morning coffee, or maybe a glass of something cool later on, benefitting as it does from catching the sun for most of the day.

The apartment can be accessed either via the quiet and smooth lift or the staircase. The heated main corridor gives access to the private spacious hallway which sets the scene for the rest of the well balanced accommodation. The sunny south facing open plan sitting/ dining room offers plenty of space for both relaxing and dining and is supplemented by a sweet little balcony which arguably enjoys even better views. The kitchen area is contemporary and stylish. The bespoke wall and base units (which follow through to the dining area) have complementary work surfaces incorporating a stainless steel sink and drainer, and Neff appliances which include a fridge, freezer, induction hob with Elica external extractor over, slimline dishwasher, and a Siemens "smart" combination microwave and oven.

The primary double bedroom is south facing and has a deep window seat inviting you to sit, relax and admire the view beyond. This room benefits from fabulous sleek and stylish built in storage facilities so keeping the room calm and clutter free. The second bedroom is currently utilised as a home office, but would equally be suited as a second bedroom. The lovely modern shower room has a three piece suite comprising Mira shower, WC, and an elegant wash basin set above a contemporary vanity unit with LED sensor mirror over. Additionally there is a heated ladder style towel rail/radiator. The linen cupboard close by discreetly houses the Samsung washer/dryer.

A guests bedroom is available on this second floor for visiting family members and friends should the two bedrooms within the apartment not be sufficient. Furthermore, there is a communal sitting room on the ground floor, great for get-togethers with friends and socialising with fellow residents, along with a communal laundry room.There are pretty communal gardens and on-site shared car parking facilities.

Millans Court itself was purpose built in 1987 to provide accommodation in this lovely setting exclusively for those aged 55 years and over with emergency pull cords in each of the principal rooms, and an intercom connection to warden services.

Seen by many as the perfect solution for a comfortable and relaxed retirement, providing independence for the owner and peace of mind from the family, Millans Court enjoys an excellent reputation locally and early viewing is highly recommended.
