In the hallway there are double storage cupboards, one housing the hot water tank, the other perfect for coats or the Hoover & ironing board. Doors lead off the other rooms and into the living room. Even on the gloomiest day, the large window will allow natural light in, and you'll have a room with a view. There is plenty of room for a dining set and an arch opens into the kitchen. There is a good range of modern units giving plenty of cupboard storage, a range of integrated appliances including a full-height fridge/freezer, slimline dishwasher inset hob with oven below and extractor over. The bedroom has built-in wardrobes to one wall and there is plenty of room for a double bed and other furniture. The shower room has a walk-in shower with a Mira electric shower, a pedestal wash hand basin and W.C.
The heating in the property is provided via night storage and panel heaters. The two windows have been replaced with double-glazed UPVC. The development itself is for the over 60s only. There is a good sense of community with a residents' lounge with some organised events if you wish to be sociable. There is also a laundry room plus a guest room available to hire for visiting family or friends.
With Locks Heath Centre shops, library, doctors and the bus terminal just moments away, there are few locations that could offer such convenience, especially for those without a car. The communal gardens are well maintained for residents to enjoy and there is parking available on a first come, first served basis. There is no forward sales chain to delay a sale, so if you are keen to secure your next home, please call Robinson Reade where one of our friendly and professional team will be happy to arrange an appointment to view.

Full profileProperty listings
We first opened our doors back in 2004. We're now based in Park Gate, with services extending across the beautiful stretch of land we've endearingly named 'the Strawberry Coast' in honour of its rich strawberry-growing history. As a proud independent agency, we're not governed by head office targets, meaning we can advise clients on what's in their best interests and not because we need to hit a corporate sales figure. Here are some reasons people trust us to represent them. Uniqueness: We're not a standard agency found on every high street; we're different and proud of it. Flexibility: We adapt to your needs, offering a personalized service tailored to you. Empathy: We're human, just like you. If it matters to you, it matters to us. Honesty & Transparency: With us, there are no hidden surprises; we believe in an open, honest dialogue. Appreciation: We value and are grateful for your custom, acknowledging that you have a choice of agencies. Market Awareness: We stay informed of broader market trends and developments. Legislative Adaptability: We keep up-to-date with legislative changes to provide you with the best advice. Professionally Vetted: We're supported by the estate agency industry's leading professional body, PropertyMark. The PropertyMark Protected logo that we proudly display signifies that we're independently regulated, adhere to qualification standards, and follow a strict Code of Conduct. This means we're accountable to a disciplinary panel for any lapses in these standards, reaffirming our commitment to excellence in service. We've built our reputation on the levels of honesty, care and professionalism we feel everyone deserves.
