Benefiting from significant recent enhancements as well as an end corner setting with South Westerly views to the rear, a first floor 2 bedroom retirement apartment in an age exclusive complex within impressive landscaped level grounds.
Description
Since 2011, the apartment has benefited from uPVC double glazing featuring white internal frames with trickle vents, a refitted kitchen, a shower room in white livery, and a stairlift.
