A beautifully presented executive one-bedroom ground floor apartment within this highly regarded McCarthy & Stone development, offering an exceptional combination of independent living, security, companionship and support, all designed specifically for the over 70s.

For those looking to make a move that provides less maintenance, more freedom and genuine peace of mind, this wonderful apartment offers far more than simply a new home.

But perhaps the greatest appeal is what lies beyond the apartment itself - A lifestyle designed around you...

Residents have access to an excellent range of communal facilities, giving you the opportunity to be as private or as sociable as you wish.

There is a restaurant and dining room, communal lounge with tea and coffee, function room, laundry facilities, guest room, scooter/buggy room with charging facilities and car parking. There is also an estate manager and 24-hour on-site management with a call system, providing an additional level of reassurance for both residents and their families.

The development is designed to make everyday life easier, with weekly apartment cleaning, external window cleaning, communal gardening and maintenance of the main areas included within the service charge. There is also key-fob access to the main entrance and automatic gates to the building and car park.

And importantly, this is a home where family and friends can feel welcome too. With a guest room, communal spaces and a restaurant/dining environment available, visiting loved ones can remain an important part of everyday life, whilst family members can have the reassurance of knowing that support and assistance are close at hand.

There is a real sense of community here, without any obligation to participate. Current in-house activities include film afternoons, music nights, Pilates days, card schools and resident meetings, giving residents the opportunity to meet others and build friendships at their own pace.

For those who enjoy getting out and about, the location is equally appealing. A supermarket is approximately 300 metres away, with shops, pubs and coffee houses also within around 300 metres of the town centre. The local medical hub is approximately 0.1 mile away, providing access to doctors, dentist, optician, chemist, chiropodist and physiotherapist.

There is also a library nearby, together with swimming, spa and gym facilities, the local Altrix Centre offering music, comedy, films and theatre, museums including the Avoncroft Museum and Norton Collection, Sanders Park, local hospital, post office, banks and public transport including bus and railway stations.

This apartment offers exactly that balance: your own front door, your own private patio and living space, the freedom to come and go as you please, whilst knowing that there is a community around you, facilities to enjoy and professional support available should you ever need it.

For families, that reassurance can be just as important. It is comforting to know that a loved one can retain their independence whilst having 24-hour on-site management, an emergency call system and a community of people around them.
