In the heart of Wadhurst Village (recently acknowledged by the Sunday Times as the best place to live in the UK) this two bedroom ground floor, and untypically spacious retirement flat, with a private courtyard garden and garage, allows those looking to downsize to not only move without compromising on room sizes, but to also enjoy a secluded location tucked behind the thriving High Street. 'Jempsons' grocery store is immediately on hand as well as a number of restaurants, pubs, cafes and independent shops.
Wadhurst is within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the nearby Bewl water reservoir being a popular attraction for children and families.. Regular buses run from Wadhurst to Tunbridge Wells and there is a train service direct to London Charing Cross with a journey time of around 64 minutes.
Crittles Court is a well-looked after development with beautiful communal gardens and its own resident estate manager Each property has its own personal emergency alarm system linked to a 24/7 operator who will summon the emergency services, resident manager and / or relatives as neccessary. A guest room is available providing overnight accommodation for visitors looking to stay for more than just the day and there are four visitor parking spaces.
Double glazed and benefiting from recently fitted electric heaters, the flat benefits from a modern bathroom with large walk-in shower and a modern kitchen with granite work surfaces and integrated dishwasher, oven and hob. In addition to the generous sized sitting room there is a further dining area with French doors leading to the private courtyard garden. The outlook from the rooms are to either the communal gardens or the private courtyard garden and the property allows the resident the choice of independent living with the added reassurance of having a personal emergency alarm system linked to a 24/7 operator who will summon the emergency services, resident manager and / or relatives as necessary..
28 Crittles Court is one of only a few ground floor flats within the development of 21 cottages and 8 flats built in the early 1980s for the over 55s. As previously mentioned it is unusual to find a retirement flat offering such generous room sizes and the direct access to its own private garden as well as the easy access to shops and amenities makes it the ideal choice for those looking to downsize. There is also the added advantage of no chain. Council Tax Band E.

About this agent
John Dallas Estate Agents - South Croydon
1 Sanderstead Road
South Croydon, Surrey
CR2 0PE
020 8115 0834Originally founded in 1968 by the late Keith Dallas Lucas as a surveying practice with a small estate agency side, the business opened its first premises in South Croydon in 1980. 40 years later, Keith’s son John joined the family estate agency following a long and successful career at a large corporate estate agency. Rebranded in 2012, John Dallas offers an alternative to the stereotype of the aggressive estate agency firms who can be more interested in hitting their sales targets than putting their customers’ best interests first. John Dallas offers a more personal and consistent level of service which he hopes will lead to recommendations and repeat custom in years ahead. When it is the family name over the door reputation matters and John plans to be running a well-regarded, truly independent and successful estate agency for years to come. From a marketing perspective all properties are advertised on the major property websites with floorplans and professional style photography included at no extra cost. A prominent property showroom and regular newspaper adverts ensures the full exposure of properties to potential buyers
