The property was constructed in 2011 by the highly reputable and award winning Hill Residential. The development has matured beautifully with established trees and planted beds, creating a peaceful setting in the heart of this extremely well served village. The apartment is located on the first floor with views over communal gardens to the rear. There is a welcoming communal entrance hall with entry phone system, a communal seating area and an elevator to the first floor. Once inside the apartment there is a reception hall with fitted cupboard housing a wall mounted gas fired central heating boiler and the underfloor heating manifolds.
There is a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe cupboards and a luxury shower room fitted with Duravit sanitary ware including a generous walk-in shower. The sitting/dining room has French doors to a Juliet balcony which overlook the communal gardens. The kitchen area is fitted with attractive cabinetry, ample fitted silestone working surfaces with inset one and a half sink unit with mixer tap and bevel drainer. There are a host of integrated Siemens appliances and these include a four ring ceramic hob, conventional oven and combination microwave oven, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine plus karndean flooring.
Outside there is gated parking for one car plus visitor parking. The development is run by elected residents directors in charge of the maintenance and the communal electricity areas, communal gardening areas and external window cleaning at a cost of approximately £2,000 per annum for each resident. The residents have also converted, what was originally the site office, to a rather pleasant meeting called the Toska room where coffee mornings and yoga classes are regular occurrences and gives the scheme an individual and community feel.
