Set on the first floor of the main building-reached by lift or stairs-50 Garnier Drive offers a practical, open-plan layout with the bonus of two private balconies, both enjoying a tranquil outlook across the Copper Beech tree at the rear.

A generous reception hall offers space for furniture as well as a built-in storage cupboard-ideal for coats or the Hoover. Wood-effect flooring flows through the apartment (with the exception of bedroom two, where a new carpet is scheduled for January), adding a warm and practical finish.

The living/dining space is easy to furnish, with room for a table and chairs. An electric fire provides a stylish focal point, and double doors open to the first balcony for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The kitchen is neatly integrated with washer/dryer, microwave, electric oven, fridge/freezer and halogen hob, and upgraded by a Quooker hot-water tap delivering instant 100°C water-freeing up worktop space and making tea-making, cooking and prep a breeze.

The primary bedroom is a notably large double, fitted with a four-door wardrobe and served by an exceptionally spacious en-suite bathroom, where feature tiling and a fitted dressing table add a boutique feel. The second bedroom has built-in wardrobes and access to the second balcony-perfect for guests or hobbies. Off the hallway, you'll find a separate shower room, ideal for visitors. The apartment has underfloor heating that is individually controlled in each room.

Exclusively for those aged 65 and over, Bishopstoke Park offers a sociable village lifestyle with first-class amenities on the doorstep: restaurant and bar, wellness centre with pool, sauna, steam room and gym, hair salon, village shop, library and beautifully landscaped grounds with woodland walks. Flexible care and housekeeping packages are available should your needs change over time.

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.
