Austin Estate Agents are pleased to offer for sale this beautifully presented, one bedroom, first floor retirement apartment with a lift. The apartment has been refurbished throughout by the current owners to include recently fitted carpets, a newly styled kitchen and contemporary shower room. The highly regarded Hardys Court development boasts well maintained communal areas and guest suite.
Upon entering the property you are greeted with a spacious entrance hallway hosting a large airing cupboard and also a good sized storage cupboard. From here, the lounge/dining room, bedroom and shower room are accessed. The lounge/dining room enjoys a double glazed door leading to the Juliet balcony, which overlooks the beautiful communal gardens below. From here, the kitchen can also be accessed through a frosted glass door. The kitchen has modern 'shaker' style eye level and base units, sleek granite worktops, integral fridge freezer, four ring hob and electric oven. Unusually for these apartments the kitchen also has space and plumbing for a washing machine. The double glazed window offers equally lovely views over the gardens.

The house manager can be contacted from various points within each property. In the case of an emergency, there is a 24hr care-line response for when the house manager is off duty.
