Easy first-floor access - No passenger lift, but a stairlift has been installed to make the stairs simple to manage.
Lovely living space - Large dual-aspect living/dining room with a west-facing balcony and fitted shutter blinds to the living room and hall windows.
Generous kitchen - Excellent size with room for a dining table-or even a movable island if you prefer.
Two very large double bedrooms - Both with built-in wardrobes; the second has a dressing room that could double as a handy study.
Bathrooms that work for guests - En suite shower room to the main bedroom and a Jack & Jill bathroom serving the second bedroom.
Enjoy a quieter corner of Bishopstoke Park at 11 Spence Close—a spacious first-floor apartment with a distinctly “villagey” feel, set away from the main hub yet within easy reach of the facilities. To make coming and going straightforward, there isn’t a passenger lift but a stairlift has been fitted on the staircase serving this home.
Inside, a wide entrance hall leads to a bright dual-aspect living/dining room; there’s a west-facing balcony for afternoon sun and leafy views across the gardens to the woodland beyond. Shutter blinds to the living room and hall windows add both style and privacy.
The kitchen is a great size, easily accommodating a dining table—there’s even scope to add a movable island if that suits your way of cooking and entertaining.
Both bedrooms are particularly large doubles with fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom has an en?suite shower room, while the second bedroom enjoys its own dressing room—ideal as extra storage or a neat study—and connects to a Jack & Jill bathroom, perfect for visiting family or friends.
As part of Bishopstoke Park’s over?65s community, residents have access to superb amenities including the wellness centre with pool, spa, sauna and gym, the on?site restaurant and bar, hair salon and village shop, along with attractive landscaped grounds and woodland walks. Optional care and housekeeping packages are available should your needs change in the future.
