Phil Hall Estate Agents welcomes to the market Marlborough Court, an exceptionally well-presented one-bedroom first floor apartment which offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy independent living within a welcoming and well-cared-for retirement community, located in the heart of Eastbourne.
From the moment you arrive at Marlborough Court, you are greeted by an inviting entrance and a true sense of community. The building itself has been thoughtfully designed for residents aged 55 and over, combining independent living with the peace of mind of on-site management, high-quality communal facilities, and beautifully maintained surroundings.
Located on the first floor, accessible via both lift and stairs, this delightful apartment offers bright and well-proportioned accommodation throughout.
Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hallway provides access to all principal rooms.
To the right, you will find the spacious through living and dining room, a generous dual-purpose space that is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying meals with friends. Large windows allow natural light to flood the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Just off the living area is the modern fitted kitchen, thoughtfully laid out and well-equipped for everyday convenience. The kitchen features an array of wall-mounted and matching base units with coordinated work surfaces, as well as a built-in electric oven, four-ring hob with extractor hood, and integrated fridge, freezer, and washing machine. Every detail has been designed with practicality in mind, ensuring it is both functional and easy to maintain.
The double bedroom is equally impressive, offering ample space for bedroom furniture and a restful ambiance. A particularly attractive feature is the walk-in wardrobe, providing excellent storage space while maintaining the uncluttered feel of the room. Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room, fitted in a wet-room style for ease of access and practicality.
