A splendid and well-designed first floor 2 bedroomed apartment forming part of a purpose-built retirement scheme, centrally located in a quiet position beside the River Pang, in the middle of this sought-after village, and within walking distance of shops and station. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

This particular apartment has undergone recent partial re-decoration with new carpeting throughout, a new cushioned vinyl floor to shower room, and newly installed electric wall mounted heaters. It has its own single garage and occupies one of the prime positions within this small development, set right at the back so untroubled by any noise from the road, with windows overlooking the River Pang.

The Pang, noted for its purity as a chalk stream and famous for its brown trout, meanders along the riverside communal gardens belonging to the property with these gardens only for the use of the residents of Willows Court, therefore very private.

The position on the first floor together with a part time resident estate manager provides a tremendous amount of security. The estate manager gives on-site assistance and advice and there is also a guest bedroom with twin beds, wash basin and wc, which may be used if required at a nominal charge.

Willows Court was constructed in 1987 as a purpose built and carefully designed scheme for persons over the age of 55.

The entrance to no. 9 is located to the rear left-hand side of the development just behind the small car park for guests and residents, therefore only a short walk past pretty shrubbery and lawns to its private entrance via a staircase which is shared with only one other apartment.

Special features:
* Newly installed energy efficient electric wall mounted heaters (a combination of Rointe Kyros and Dimplex programmable heaters)
* Wood effect UPVC double glazed windows throughout
* Emergency alarm system. Each room has an emergency pull cord, there is an intercom connected to the estate manager/care centre and if residents require it, a necklace alarm button as well
* Panelled internal doors with brass furniture
* Carpets, floor coverings and curtains included
* Excellent storage facilities including access to roof space
* Kitchen with Shaker style cream-coloured units together with built-in refrigerator, electric hob, freestanding Whirlpool washing machine
* Double aspect sitting room with feature corner window maximising light and views over the gardens and river, also an ornamental Adam style fireplace with coal effect electric fire
* Bedroom one has an extensive range of wall to wall fitted wardrobe/cupboard space
* A walk-in shower, with white suite and double-glazed roof window enabling lots of natural light
* This apartment also enjoys the benefit of having its own garage with power and lighting

The gardens are cared for under a maintenance contract within the service charge.

The village hall is just across the road with a market each Friday.
