Description

A purpose built first floor apartment for the retired, or over 55s, set within a quiet cul-de-sac being sold with no onward chain.

Sitting/dining room, kitchen, shower room, two bedrooms, communal gardens, off road parking space. EPC Rating: TBC

Situation

Located just half a mile from the centre of this medieval town, the house is a easy walk from the Sandwich railway station (with High-Speed services to London) and a twelve minute walk from the picturesque town centre area. Sandwich provides a variety of interesting shops and boutiques with many coffee shops, pubs and restaurants and other amenities whilst further shopping is available in the larger nearby centres of Canterbury, Deal and at Westwood Cross, Broadstairs. Sandwich is an outstanding area for golfing, fishing, cycling, walking, swimming and nature lovers.

The Property

A two bedroom first floor apartment within a well-run purpose built block of retirement flats. There are shared communal gardens surrounding the building, car parking and laundry facilities and a part time site manager who looks after the smooth running of the building and any building maintenance issues. The accommodation comprises entrance hall, living/dining room, fitted kitchen (the units are rather dated), two double bedrooms and a shower room/WC with large shower enclosure. There are three built-in storage cupboards or wardrobes including an airing cupboard. This apartment is in need of some refurbishment to include replacement kitchen cabinets, flooring and electric heaters in particular. Modern Upvc double glazed windows throughout. A laundry room is provided with washing machines and dryers for resident's use to save the need for a washing machine and tumbler inside the flats.
