Description
Set on the first floor of the well-regarded Dower Court development, this purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment enjoys the convenience of lift access and a superb level position within the popular Preston area of Paignton. Residents' parking is available on a non-allocated, first come first served basis, adding further practicality for homeowners and visitors alike.
The accommodation is approached via a spacious entrance hallway, thoughtfully arranged with built-in storage cupboard fitted with shelving. The main living space comprises a comfortable lounge area that opens directly into the kitchen, creating a sociable, open-plan layout. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, stainless steel sink and drainer, washing machine and a freestanding fridge/freezer. From the lounge, the double bedroom provides excellent fitted storage, with built-in wardrobes and drawers extending along one wall.
Completing the interior is a contemporary shower room, finished with fully tiled walls and flooring. The suite includes a vanity unit incorporating a wash basin, concealed cistern WC and useful cupboard storage, complimented by a wall-mounted illuminated mirror. A walk-in double shower enclosure with electric shower over provides a stylish and accessible finishing touch.
