Over 70's Apartment
Located within the highly regarded McCarthy Stone over-70s development in the heart of Canterbury, this exceptional second-floor retirement apartment combines generous proportions, natural light and premium on-site facilities, all just a short walk or drive from the city centre and nearby amenities.
A standout feature and rare benefit within the development is the inclusion of a private allocated parking space.
Accessed via lift, the apartment opens into an impressively spacious entrance hallway, large enough to accommodate a study or home office area, setting the tone for the well-designed interior. The property boasts a substantial open-plan lounge and dining area, unique in size and layout, with double-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light and create a bright, airy feel throughout.
The contemporary fitted kitchen is thoughtfully positioned off the living space and features modern units with integrated appliances.
The property boats a generous sized double bedroom which also enjoys double-aspect windows, while the stylish wet room is designed with comfort and accessibility in mind. A large storage cupboard further enhances practicality.
Residents benefit from outstanding communal facilities including a fully equipped Wellness Lounge and an on-site Bistro serving freshly prepared hot meals daily, fostering a welcoming, sociable community while maintaining the privacy and independence of your own home.
