Sawyers Estate Agents are delighted to offer this charming one bedroom first floor apartment, set within a handsome converted former primary school and forming part of an exclusive purpose built complex for the over 55's. The apartment enjoys secure gated access and sits within a well maintained and welcoming community.
Accommodation
The interior is light, airy, and beautifully presented. Ideal for elegant, low maintenance living. A communal entrance and staircase lead to the first floor and the private entrance hall.
The sitting/dining room offers a calm, relaxing atmosphere with views over the landscaped communal gardens. The kitchen is an inviting and practical space, enhanced by an attractive stone framed feature window overlooking green open spaces beyond.
A generous double bedroom provides excellent natural light and includes built-in wardrobes for ample storage. The stylish shower room has been tastefully modernised with contemporary fittings.
The property offers a clean, well maintained, and sophisticated living environment that balances charm with modern comforts.
Residents benefit from a residents lounge, an on site laundry room as well as two guest suites, which can be booked for visiting family and friends.

Gardens and Grounds
The communal courtyard style gardens are beautifully designed, offering an imaginative blend of mature planting, young trees, and colourful borders. A patio seating area and outdoor lighting provide welcoming spaces for socialising or quiet contemplation. The grounds are professionally maintained by a dedicated gardener.
Parking
Permit parking is available for residents, with additional free parking close by for visitors.
