We are delighted to offer this one bedroom, first floor McCarthy & Stone constructed, retirement apartment. A luxury development set within beautifully maintained gardens and ideally located close to local shops, facilities and transport links. Available to the over 60's or 55 for couples.

This lovely sun-drenched apartment has a lounge and dining area with quiet views to the rear and glazed double doors opening to reveal the fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. A shower room, with a newly fitted shower unit sits adjacent to the bedroom, presenting mirrored in-built wardrobe space and also taking advantage of the sunny south-westerly facing aspect.

There are beautiful grounds to enjoy with a variety of flowers, plants and trees, creating a great space to socialise with other residents.
