We are pleased to offer for sale this pleasantly decorated one-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment, served by a lift, within the highly regarded Hardys Court development. The development benefits from well-maintained communal areas and a guest suite for visitors.
The apartment is accessed via a spacious entrance hallway with a large airing cupboard and additional storage cupboard. From here, doors lead to the lounge/dining room, bedroom and shower room. The lounge/dining room enjoys a double-glazed door opening to a Juliet balcony, overlooking the attractive communal gardens. Double frosted glass doors provide access to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of eye-level and base units, coordinated worktops and integrated appliances including fridge, freezer, four-ring hob and electric oven.
The bedroom is generously sized and benefits from a large built-in mirrored wardrobe. The shower room comprises a double walk-in shower cubicle, low-level WC and vanity wash hand basin.
Residents have use of the beautiful communal gardens, laundry room and a communal lounge. Visitors may stay in the guest suite via a booking system. Hardys Court has a lively community with a social committee hosting activities such as coffee mornings, afternoon teas and bingo.
Built by McCarthy & Stone, Hardys Court consists of 38 apartments arranged over three floors, all served by a lift. A house manager is available, with a 24-hour careline response when off duty. Buyers must be 60 years or over (or 55 for one party in a couple). Pets are generally accepted, subject to lease terms and permission. The development is conveniently located close to shops, bus stops and local amenities, including a doctor’s surgery.
The lease has approximately 106 years remaining. Service charges are £2,351 per annum, including buildings insurance, house manager costs and communal maintenance. Ground rent is £395 per annum. The residents have acquired Right to Manage, helping to reduce ongoing costs.
