Why buy this home...
Malthouse Court was built on the site of a former brewery, close to Towcester town centre. It is a peaceful, purpose built development for the over 55's. It is set in a beautiful, well maintained garden adjacent to the popular Water Meadows and is approached through an impressive stone archway off Watling Street.
The property itself is a two double bedroom, first floor apartment laid out over nearly 750 square feet. As you enter the home you are welcomed by a light and inviting entrance with all rooms leading from this centralised hallway. One of the great selling points about this home is the amount of storage that it provides and you first really notice that in the bedrooms. To the right hand side of the hallway you have the second bedroom, which is a good sized double and benefits from built-in double wardrobes. Next you have the master bedroom, again a spacious double and this has two separate built-in wardrobes, one of which is actually a triple.
Across the hallway is a modern shower room - this room actually doubles up as a utility space as well. The three piece bathroom suite was installed fairly recently by the current owner, and includes a double shower, toilet and hand basin. The utility area has room for a washing machine and a separate tumble dryer should you wish, as well as having worktop space above to store all the other utility room essentials you may need. There is another large storage cupboard spanning the entire width of the shower room, which houses the water tank but also has built in shelving which would be perfect for storing bedding and towels.
The hallway provides an additional full height storage cupboard.
The living room and separate kitchen are located at the end of the hallway - a thoughtfully designed space, as this room has views over the beautifully kept gardens. This room really is a great size and can comfortably host a large sofa, or separate armchairs if you prefer. It also has space for a dining table and chairs, shelving units and bookcases as shown by the current layout. A further double door storage cupboard is situated in the living room. A door from the living room leads onto the balcony, which really is the ideal spot for a cup of tea on a warm summer morning. There is a separate kitchen which has plenty of cupboard space, a built-in oven and microwave and enough room to house a full size dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
Outside, as well as having use of the communal garden space, there is a designated single garage to house your car or simply for extra storage - should you need it!
As this property is located on a development for the over 55's there are some on-site facilities and services available, including a resident Estate Manager, a guest suite for family members to use if you wish, laundry facilities and a gardener for the upkeep of the grounds.
More about the location...
Towcester is a historic market town within South Northamptonshire. Located midway between Milton Keynes and Northampton, it is really conveniently located close to both the A5 and A43 meaning it has fantastic commuting links. It is also only a 20 minute drive to the M1 motorway junctions, giving you easy access whether you are travelling North or South of the country.
Although Towcester is steeped in history and character it also offers modern living with the fantastic amenities within a close proximity. Local restaurants, pubs, post offices, supermarkets and doctor’s surgery are all within easy distance. Close by you also have Silverstone race track, Whittlebury Park which offers golf, spa and gym facilities and the National Trust grounds of Stowe Gardens.

About this agent
Lion Estates - Milton Keynes
314 Midsummer Boulevard
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
MK9 2UB
01908 951942Lion Estates is a team of estate agents offering the most personal service in the industry. Our goal is to cover our costs by adding value in the form of a higher sales price, better communication and reduce stress for our clients. We aim to be your chosen property professional for life, offering advice and support even when you're not looking to move home. A New Breed Of Estate Agent It's no secret that estate agents in the UK don't have the best reputation compared to other countries across the world... We believe this is down to the high transactional nature of the typical estate agency business model. The need to sell high levels of homes results in poor marketing, worse communication and under-performance which leaves clients feeling short-changed. The agent who values your home and wins your trust isn't the agent who shows potential buyers around your home and goes on to negotiate your sales price. This crucial task falls to the least experienced staff member, who more often than not knows nothing about your home and hopes the potential buyer will decide to offer full asking price off their own back. Don't blame the agent though; they are likely conducting viewings on 30 - 50 homes, such is their business model, so it's impossible for them to know every detail about every home. But the person it impacts the most is the person who is paying the agent's fee - you. This, however, is through choice and not necessity - there is a better way. Imagine a service designed around what's best for the client, always putting your needs first. A truly personal service tailored to the different needs of each client as, after all, everyone's reason for moving is different. Not only that but every home is different - even if you have the same house style as someone else on your street, no other home has the same plot, orientation and feel of your home. You and your home are unique, and we for one believe you deserve to be treated like it. The estate agency industry has failed to evolve over the last 40 + years. It has failed to keep up with the changing needs of clients as the world around us has changed rapidly. Finally that change has come - welcome to the era of the personal estate agent.
