Property Information
This Apartment is a spacious and beautifully presented one-bedroom ground-floor retirement apartment, occupying a particularly desirable west-facing position within the Fair Elms development. The accommodation extends to approximately 622 sq. Ft. And combines generous room proportions with excellent storage and direct access to the communal gardens.
The entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with oak flooring and access to a useful storage room. The impressive living room is a real highlight, measuring over 19 feet in length and providing ample space for both sitting and dining furniture.

An opening from the living room leads into the fitted kitchen, which features a range of oak-effect cabinets, contrasting work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and integrated cooking appliances. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine, together with a window overlooking the greenery outside.
The double bedroom is also particularly generous and benefits from its own walk-in wardrobe, providing excellent hanging and storage space. A separate additional storage room sits nearby and could also offer potential as a small study or hobby space, subject to individual requirements.
The accommodation is completed by a large bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin. High ceilings, neutral décor and good natural light give the apartment a bright and welcoming feel throughout.
Outside, the private west-facing patio provides an ideal place to sit out and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. It opens directly onto the well-tended communal gardens, which feature lawns, mature planting, established shrubs and colourful borders.
