This superb size 2 bedroom apartment is possibly one of the largest retirement apartments currently available in the Chelmsford area and is on the market at less than half the asking price of some of the new ones being offered for sale! It was specifically chosen when bought because of its location in the complex being "tucked away" on the very end of the complex. It certainly offers excellent size accommodation and is offered for sale with vacant possession available. Chelmsford City centre is within reach as are local shops and bus services in Duke Street just round the corner. Highly recommended!

Spalding Court is a retirement complex for persons aged 60 or over. It is most conveniently located in the West end of Chelmsford within minutes walking distance of local shopping amenities and the main line railway and bus stations and easy walking distance of Chelmsford City centre with its multiple shopping facilities. The complex comprises 36 Retirement Apartments in total comprising 26 one bedroom apartments and 10 two bedroom apartments and standing in its own landscaped grounds with off street parking for residents and visitors. Each flat has an emergency system linked to the House Manager together with a 24 hour Careline back up system. Spalding Court was built in 1999 by Messrs McCarthy & Stone and is managed by FirstPort. The facilities includes a residents lounge, laundry room with washing machines, tumble driers and ironing equipment, a twin bedroom guest suite with en-suite shower room where friends or relatives can spend the night for a reasonable charge and there is a lift to all floors. Personal safety features include Careline to ensure that help is at hand 24 hours a day 365 days a year and the Careline system also controls door entry and monitors the fire alarm system and in addition a camera entry system at the main entrance allows residents to view the visitor before letting them into the complex by tuning into a dedicated channel on their television set. Burglar alarms are fitted to doors and windows on the ground floor and to entrance doors on all other floors. The development also benefits from energy saving features including low maintenance PVCu double glazing, efficient electric heating and insulation. Fixtures and fittings which may or may not be included must be negotiated at the time of purchase and confirmed with the legal representatives acting. Please note that these details are subject to change and any prospective buyer will need to confirm any specific information with their solicitors prior to an exchange. Should you wish to view this complex and the apartment, please be aware that as is common with most retirement complexes parking is communal and monitored and therefore vehicle registrations must be entered onto a keypad in the foyer to avoid a possible parking penalty.
