Property description & features

A two bedroom retirement apartment within Rostherne Court, an exclusive residential development designed to provide a tranquil and comfortable retirement lifestyle for the over 60's. The superbly proportioned accommodation briefly comprises unusually spacious entrance hall with storage facilities, living room with feature fireplace, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and bathroom/WC. Electric heating and PVCu double glazing. Ideally positioned overlooking the beautiful communal gardens.
House Manager and Careline facility.

Regarded locally as one of the most attractive retirement developments Rostherne Court benefits from a well appointed residents lounge, guest suite and laundry room and has the added advantage of the Careline system with a series of pull cords to contact the House Manager/Monitoring Team at any time, if required.

One of the most appealing features is the location, being a few hundred yards from the village of Hale with its range of individual shops, restaurants and railway station and a little further into the comprehensive shopping centre of Altrincham with its highly popular Market Hall and Metrolink station providing a frequent service into Manchester.

Occupying a favoured position within the development the accommodation is well proportioned throughout and the unusually spacious private entrance hall includes mirror fronted cloaks/storage cupboards. There is a superb naturally light living room with enviable views over the well tended communal gardens and an adjacent modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The generous master bedroom features a range of fitted furniture alongside a further double bedroom and bathroom/WC. The two bedrooms provide flexibility for accommodating guests, setting up a craft room or for use as a study.

The guest suite is available at a reasonable cost for family & friends. Twin beds, full bathroom, TV, coffee/tea, bedding and towels are provided.

The apartments are for occupation for those over the age of 60 and we understand it is possible, subject to the approval of the management company, for a small dog to accompany new purchasers.

In conclusion, this apartment requires a degree of modernisation and presents a unique opportunity to create a personalised living space tailored to your tastes and viewing is highly recommended.
