8 Castle Gardens is part of a development of fifteen properties for over 55’s built by Blue Cedar Homes in 2013. Number 8 is an attached house with rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof with sensibly configured accommodation; emphasis has been placed on adaptability, so for example the downstairs study could easily be converted into a bedroom making use of the adjoining shower room on the ground floor. Internally the property has been finished to a high standard with engineered oak floorboards in the hall and kitchen, underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, good ceiling heights and light and bright accommodation. French doors open from the sitting room onto a terrace and a small garden. Other attributes include gas fired central heating, direct pressure plumbing system, a high standard of finish to the bathrooms and kitchen with granite worktops and Neff induction hob and extractor fan, integrated washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, double oven and a microwave oven.
The property is approached off Bimport, through an electrically operated gate into a brick paved courtyard; No 8 is on the left hand side and faces the delightful communal gardens. It has an attached single garage accessed both from the front and rear and with car parking space outside; in addition there are several spaces for visitor parking. The rear garden has a small paved terrace with grassed area extending at the back and to the side of the property. The communal gardens provide a delightful setting for the development and comprise a variety of mature trees including silver birch and copper beech and well stocked and tended flower and shrub borders. There is a garden house with terracing centrally and secluded seating areas located within the gardens.
