Tucked away within the attractive Compass Court development in the heart of Manningtree, this two bedroom ground floor apartment offers comfortable and convenient retirement living for the over 55s.

One of the property's strongest features is its location. Despite its peaceful courtyard setting, Manningtree High Street and its range of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities are just moments away, while the picturesque River Stour is also close at hand. Comparable properties within the development are described as being only around 30–50 yards from the High Street.

Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 535 sq ft (49.8 sq m) and is well arranged across a single level. The spacious living room provides plenty of room for both seating and dining, while the separate fitted kitchen and integrated oven and hob.

There are two bedrooms, giving the flexibility of a comfortable principal bedroom alongside a guest room, study or hobby space. A shower room and useful internal storage complete the accommodation.

Outside, Compass Court has an attractive and sociable courtyard feel, with colourful communal planting and seating areas creating a particularly pleasant setting. The wider development also benefits from residents' facilities and warden assistance.

For someone looking to downsize without giving up the convenience of town-centre living, this is a very practical home in one of Manningtree's most convenient positions.
