THE PROPERTY
represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a Garden level retirement apartment located at Homeminster House, an attractive purpose-built town centre development with well-lit communal hallways whilst all floors are served by a lift and stairways. All properties benefit from Electric Heating and Double Glazing, power points are at a comfortable waist height, whilst safety & security systems are linked to a House Manager responsible for overseeing the smooth day-to-day running of the building and an out-of-hours careline service provides peace of mind when the House Manager is off duty. A guest apartment is also available by arrangement for visiting friends and relatives. Although offering scope for some updating this is a very rare opportunity not to be missed to acquire a Garden level Ground Floor apartment with it's own direct Garden access onto a small area of outside space hence the Agents strongly advise an early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
