Description
Location & Description
Merrievale Court enjoys a convenient position in one of Malvern's premier areas only a couple of minutes walk from the bustling centre of Barnards Green where there is a fine range of amenities including shops, the Co-operative supermarket, Post Office and takeaways. The retail park off Townsend Way is about a mile away and has shops to include Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, Next and Boots. Great Malvern railway station is less than a quarter of a mile away and the property is also within walking distance of open common land.
The wider facilities of Great Malvern are about a mile distant. Here there are additional shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. Junction 1 of the M50 motorway south of Upton upon Severn is about 9 miles away and junction 7 of the M5 at Worcester is a similar distance.
Constructed in the late 1980s Merrievale Court is an imaginatively designed complex of 21 properties arranged over three floors. It is designed to cater for the active retired and is available to buyers over the age of 60 years. The apartment has an alarm system which allows calls between the residents and the manager. In the manager's absence the alarm is linked by telephone to a call centre. There is also a personal alarm pendant linked to the same system. The building also has a lift, wheelchair access, a shared resident's lounge (with kitchen and toilet facilities), a laundry room (fitted with washing machines and tumble driers) and a guest's suite for overnight visitors.
