Read the full agent description
Beechfield Court is a purpose built retirement development by McCarthy and Stone, designed for purchasers aged 60 and over, and comprising just twenty five apartments in an established and well regarded part of the town. This ground floor apartment is particularly appealing thanks to its direct access, French doors opening to a private patio, and its position within beautifully maintained communal surroundings.
The apartment is well presented throughout and arranged for comfortable day to day living. A welcoming reception hall provides a practical first impression and includes a large storage cupboard, housing the Gledhill electric boiler for hot water and the Ventaxia heat recovery unit. Triple glazing and electric underfloor heating add to the sense of comfort and efficiency.
The sitting and dining room is a notably attractive living space, enjoying a dual aspect and a pleasant outlook towards the rear communal gardens. It offers ample room for both seating and dining, creating a layout that works well for quiet everyday living as well as visiting family and friends. French door opens directly onto the private patio, extending the living space outdoors and providing an easy place to sit and enjoy the setting.
The kitchen is fitted in a practical and well equipped style, with integrated appliances including a ceramic hob with extractor hood, a waist level oven and a tall fridge freezer. The layout has been designed to make good use of the space while keeping everything within easy reach.
There are two double bedrooms, both of good proportions. One benefits from a walk in wardrobe and an en suite wet room, offering useful flexibility for guests or more independent day to day living. In addition, there is a fully tiled wet room serving the rest of the apartment.
Outside, the wider development is a particular feature. The communal gardens and grounds are attractively landscaped and well maintained, with residents and visitor parking available. There is also a large south facing paved terrace, sweeping lawns, mature trees and shrubs, and access to Parks Walk. These shared outdoor spaces give the development a relaxed and sociable feel, while still allowing residents privacy and independence.
