DESCRIPTION

A bright and spacious one bedroom apartment set in the ever popular Homechime House development for the over 60's. This first floor apartment (with lift to all floors) benefits from well-proportioned rooms, ample storage and bathroom.

The apartment is accessed from a communal entrance hall with stairs or lift access to the first floor.

The kitchen is open to the living area and comprises a range of wall and base units, space for a cooker, space for an undercounter fridge along with work surface space. The kitchen is larger than most in the Homechime development and could be redesigned to create more storage and workspace, if desired. The sitting/dining room has a large picture window with side aspect and allows plenty of natural light.  This generous room benefits from modern Dimplex electric heaters and wall lights and offers plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a small dining table.   The property has a good size double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and wall lights.

The apartment also benefits from a 'Tunstall' emergency response system for added piece of mind.
