A beautifully presented, two bedroom retirement apartment situated in Stover Court, a unique and interesting development built in 2013, offering beautiful landscaped communal gardens, homeowners lounge, mobility scooter store and laundry room.

Introduction: - This spacious, interesting and well presented two bedroom apartment is on the upper ground floor, conveniently situated for the lift service and on the same floor as the homeowners lounge and laundry room. The accommodation offers a generous living room, a well fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a modern en-suite wet room with an excellent level access shower. There is the additional bonus of a further shower room/wc off the hallway which is ideal for visitors / guests.

Constructed in 2013 by award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy Stone, Stover Court is a 'Retirement Living' development providing a lifestyle living opportunity for the over 55's and designed for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent House Manager. The development, partly converted from the old hospital, is ideally located within a very short walk of a Sainsbury's store, excellent doctors surgery, pharmacy and the amenities of the town centre.
The development enjoys excellent communal facilities including a homeowners' lounge, laundry, scooter store, landscaped gardens with an attractive courtyard. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge of £25 per night applies. The property benefits from economical underfloor heating hence freeing up valuable wall space and a sophisticated Vent Axia system. Private car parking is available with a yearly permit at an annual charge of around £250 per annum (subject to availability)

It's so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Stover Court; there are always plenty of activities to choose from, bringing neighbours and friends together on a regular basis. Whilst there is something for everyone, homeowners dip in and out of activities as they wish.
