This first floor apartment is situated within the highly regarded Hardy's Court which boasts beautiful communal gardens and well maintained communal areas including a vibrant residents lounge.

The entrance door of the apartment gives access to the reception hallway with wall mounted security intercom system, a large storage cupboard and doors to the lounge / diner, bedrooms and bathroom.  The lounge / diner is situated to the front of the property with a large double glazed window and door providing excellent natural light and leading to a balcony with pleasant views of the beautiful gardens.  There is ample room for a dining table as well as a feature fireplace with electric inset fire and double opening doors to kitchen.  The kitchen is tastefully fitted with a modern range of matching eye level and base units, with integrated electric oven, halogen hob and extractor fan.  Unusually for this retirement complex, the apartment benefits from its own washing machine.
