Sycamore Court is a development of retirement apartments designed for people of 60 years of age. Its purpose is to allow Owners of apartments to live independently for as long as possible whilst relieving them of the need to maintain a house and garden.

The Court, built in 1992, is situated in the attractive town of Oxted, Surrey with its supermarkets, shops, post office, leisure centre, cinema, restaurants, health centre and dental practices. Bus stops are close by as well as a railway station with trains going to East Croydon and London, or East Grinstead and Uckfield in the other direction. The building is arranged around a pleasant landscaped courtyard with car parking for Owners, staff and visitors. 

There is also a varied social life with coffee mornings, parties, quizzes, poetry, films etc etc. A holy communion service is held once a month for those who cannot easily get to Church. 

Sycamore Court is self-managed by a Board of five Directors, at least four of whom must be residents, and in 2005 the Court purchased its own freehold, which is now shared equally between the 35 apartments. 

TERMS OF PURCHASE AND RESIDENCY:

The apartments within the Court are sold with long leases (999 years from 1992) and are subject to a monthly service charge. 

Sycamore Court is not a residential care home or a nursing home, but a place for relatively fit and active people. The aim is to assist independent living, provide security and remove some of the chores of running a household. There are therefore certain rules and criteria which are upheld:

  • On arrival, Owners must be over 60 years of age
  • On arrival, Owners should not need any personal or clinical care
  • Throughout residency, Owners should be mobile enough to leave the building unaided and to hold sociable conversations with other residents 
  • Small pets are welcome provided they cause no nuisance and dogs should be exercised off site

FACILITIES AND SERVICE CHARGE

  • 35 well appointed, self-contained apartments on three floors accessible by two lifts and stairs. 31 have two bedrooms and just 4 have one bedroom
  • Attractive communal areas including a lounge, dining room, hobbies' room and guest suite
  • 24 hour staffing
  • 1.5 hours of domestic assistance in each apartment each week included in the service charge
  • Optional lunches every day of the year in our dining room
  • Laundry and ironing service if required (additional payment)
  • Extra domestic assistance if required (additional payment)

  • Staff Wages

  • External window cleaning
