Description
Enjoying easy access to all the village facilities via a lift close by, this second floor apartment opens to a wide entrance hallway with storage cupboard and room enough for a bureau, bookcase or desk. This leads to an extremely spacious dual aspect living/dining room, with access to a South-facing balcony with far-reaching views from the lounge and a West-facing roof terrace from the dining area. Bi-fold doors lead to the bright dual aspect kitchen/diner, which offers Shaker-style ivory coloured units, high quality marble worktops in peach and grey tones, a range of Miele integrated appliances and enough space for a large free-standing fridge-freezer (the existing one is not included in the sale). There are two large double bedrooms, both with excellent built-in wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms, containing a bath and shower for the master bedroom and a walk-in shower room for the second bedroom, which is South-facing. The dual aspect master bedroom also has access to the large roof terrace. Finally, situated off the hallway, there's a WC cloakroom plus a utility room with Miele washer/dryer.
Bishopstoke Park retirement village offers stunning apartments in beautiful surroundings, first class facilities, and a vibrant community. The best of luxury living is combined with an independent lifestyle designed around you, creating a unique experience.
Taking pride of place is the painstakingly restored 19th-century Mount building, providing a unique focal point for village life. A state-of-the-art wellness centre and spa offers a 15-metre swimming pool, Whirlpool bath, steam room, sauna, plus a fully equipped gymnasium offering a range of fitness classes. Nestled alongside the Mount are Cotton's Café/deli and Antler's bar and restaurant - both vibrant spaces where you can relax and be proud to entertain.
All residents pay a contribution to the running costs of facilities, support services and maintenance of the building and grounds which is known as the 'service charge'. The lease provides that each year you must pay ground rent which for the first 25 years will be £500 a year. The deferred sinking fund contribution of 4% goes towards a fund which we build up over time to meet the cost of major repairs and refurbishment works which are not covered by the monthly service charge. The contribution is payable on resale.
We believe in promoting independence with dignity, whilst at the same time striving to maintain and improve your quality of life. We understand that life changes as you get older. There comes a time when some extra assistance may be required to help complete those day-to-day tasks which were once dealt with more easily. The village offers a comprehensive range of housekeeping and personal care services including at various hourly rates through our registered homecare service and housekeeping team. This is managed through separate contracts with individual residents.
