1 bedroom retirement property for sale

Enjoying, we believe, one of the most enviable situations within Westley Court, this beautifully presented and expensively appointed, larger-than-average, lower-ground-floor apartment is a ‘must-see’ home. Not only is the position favourable with a view to the countryside and farmland from beyond the well-tended gardens, but moreover, this apartment has quality additions.

Located on the lower ground floor, to the far right of the development, with convenient access to stairs and/or a lift from the reception and corridors, the quiet setting is readily accessible. From the apartment, there is direct access to the gardens that surround Westley Court. In fact, there are double-glazed doors from both the dining kitchen and sitting room to the exterior space.

From within, the beautifully presented accommodation affords a surprisingly large layout with a reception hall, a generous sitting room, a combined dining kitchen, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a delightful bathroom with a white suite.

Of particular note, the kitchen within the combined dining arrangement is comprehensively furnished and includes a range of integrated appliances (including integrated fridge/freezer, double oven, ceramic induction hob, dishwasher, integrated microwave and coffee maker). Further, the bathroom is a ‘four-piece’ with a separate shower enclosure to the bath.

Residents benefit from a range of onsite facilities at Westley Court, including a staffed reception, lounge area, ample residents and visitor parking, serviced gardens and grounds, and an emergency pull cord system.
