2 bed Flat For Sale £220,000
**Additional photos to follow**
A 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with private courtyard garden and garage. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.
It is hard to imagine a more quintessentially-English scene than the pretty estate of Hildesley Court, alongside the village duck pond and nestling under the delightful church of St Mary’s. The two and three-bedroom cottages sit around a shared garden square, though each has its own small private garden too, and there are also several attractive corner apartments. The whole estate is sheltered in a dip in the hills and its south facing grounds, with a pond and fountain, are a sun trap to enjoy.
The Ridgeway, Britain’s oldest road and now a National Trail of some 87 miles, passes within a mile of East Ilsley, and old drove roads nearby lead to excellent walks on the Berkshire Downs. The area also has a rich equestrian heritage and horses can often be seen heading for the gallops. Just two miles from Hildesley Court is the village of Compton, with a shop and post office, and for more extensive shopping there is Newbury, which is just fifteen minutes by car. The village is well-connected, close to both the north-south A34 and Didcot station.
Cognatum Estates maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are on hand to provide support and help when needed, making this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property.
There is a laundry facility on site and a guest suite provides comfortable accommodation for family and friends.
The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties. There are no restrictions on owning a property except that one resident must be over 55 years of age.
150 year lease (from 1998). No ground rent.
