As This Is A Chain-Free Over 55’s Ground Floor Flat i’m Obliged To Describe It As “Delightful”, “Serene”, “Tranquil” And “Charming”…But I know you’ll actually buy it because it’s so handy for Morrison’s, M&S and a cheeky pint in the Tap & Spile.
Let’s face it - buying an over 55’s flat in 2025 doesn’t mean you’re over the hill. If anything, “on the way out” is more likely to mean heading into town to catch up with friends or hopping on an X15 from the bus station just down the road.
This is retirement living without the lazy clichés. No “idyllic hideaways” for your “golden years” - just a neat and tidy ground floor flat, right in the middle of everything, with a few added extras that means life can carry on at your own pace.
There’s no stairs to climb. No upper chain to slow things down. And no need to jump in the car for your everyday essentials (or a midweek takeaway treat).
Inside, there’s a lounge with an electric fire and TV point, a practical fitted kitchen, a comfortable double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a clean & tidy shower room with a walk-in shower.
Set in a McCarthy & Stone development, Silvas Court has a resident House Manager, a 24-hour emergency Careline system, and a sociable residents’ lounge if you fancy a chat. There’s even a guest suite if the family wants to stay over.
And being on the ground floor with your own access to the landscaped communal gardens, you can come and go as you please.
The location’s a winner - on a leafy street just around the corner from the bus station, minutes from Sanderson Arcade, and within easy reach of shops, cafés, banks and the leisure centre.
If you want to stay independent and stay central this one’s definitely worth a look.
