The adjoining kitchen is well-appointed and offers direct access to the outside.
On the first floor are two spacious double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and fitted storage, while the second bedroom is another generous double, ideal for guests, hobbies or a home office. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
The property also benefits from a single garage with electricity, providing secure parking or useful additional storage.
Residents of The Courtyard enjoy access to a range of excellent communal facilities designed to enhance everyday living. Beautifully maintained communal gardens back directly onto the picturesque Piddle Water Meadows, providing a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside. An attractive residents' summer house offers the perfect place to meet neighbours or simply unwind, while the communal spaces regularly host optional coffee mornings, games nights, summer barbecues and seasonal gatherings, creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Additional facilities include an on-site laundry, the use of which is included within the management charge, together with a guest suite that can be reserved for a small charge, providing comfortable accommodation for visiting family and friends.
