Exclusively available for over 60's, a one bedroom fifth floor apartment with extensive communal facilities
Description
Exclusively available to the over 60's, 23a Leyton Road offers a way of life that embraces time outdoors and living within a community. The development is built around a beautifully landscaped and secure central courtyard, complete with seasonal blooms and garden furniture, and being ideally located on the edge of Rothamsted Park means beautiful wildlife and blissful countryside is right on your doorstep, while the facilities of Harpenden High Street are a short level walk away. Closer to home, the development offers a residents lounge, hobby room, wellness suite and restaurant, all supervised by an onsite General manager.
The Apartment
Located on the fifth floor accessed by passenger lift or staircase, the apartment enjoys lovely views over the communal gardens and Harpenden beyond. The reception hall has two storage cupboards, one containing the MVHR unit (mechanical ventilation and heat recovery). The sitting room has parquet flooring withy underfloor heating, a Juliet balcony with double doors allowing light to flood in and also giving access to window boxes. The open plan contemporary kitchen is fitted with large quartz composite stone worktops and integrated appliances. Appliances are installed at convenient heights and locations, making those little jobs all the more easier as you grow older.
The spacious bedroom is accessed through a walk in wardrobe area while a modern Jack'n'Jill bathroom has a walk-in shower with non-slip surfaces and storage space in the form of mirror-fronted cabinets. The bathroom is fitted with Italian marble tiles and discreet security and safety features.
On the ground floor of the building in the communal hallway there is a residents seating area where you can meet and mingle. The lift goes to a basement level where there is a useful lockable storage unit and there is an allocated parking space.
Facilities
Situated in the entrance lobby is the reception where you’ll find your General Manager on hand. They are available to sign for parcels, manage guest suite and restaurant bookings. They can book you in for an onsite spa treatment and deal with any
queries you may have.
Lounge- Looking out over the greenery of the garden, the lounge is a quiet space where you can have a flick through the morning papers while enjoying a pot of coffee and a light breakfast. A large, airy space full of comfortable furniture, this is a natural place for neighbourly catch-ups, club meetings, or simply settling down with a good novel. Pour yourself a drink from the honesty bar and enjoy a game of cards.
Hobby Room- The idea behind the Hobby Room is to create a creative space for owners to enjoy what they are passionate about. Stocked with various art supplies, the room overlooks the beautiful garden and flows with inspiration.
Wellness Suite- The light and spacious wellness area has
a number of treatment rooms where you can enjoy massages, facials, manicures and pedicures.
The Park Cafe- Leading out onto a sunny terrace bordering
Rothamsted Park, the park café is a bustling kitchen-style restaurant open to those at 23a Leyton Road and the wider public. Serving a broad selection of dishes such as tapas, soups and sandwiches, the café uses the best local ingredients and artisan produce. There is also a social kitchen to be
enjoyed by the owners at 23a Leyton Road.
Square Footage: 598 sq ft
Leasehold with approximately 238 years remaining.
