2 bed Flat For Sale £200,000
A two bedroom first floor retirement apartment with balcony and river view
Constructed in early-2010 by award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy and Stone, Rivers Edge Court is a ‘Retirement Living’ development providing a quality-of-lifestyle opportunity for the over 60’s and designed for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent House Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development. As the development name implies it is in a tranquil Riverside setting adjacent to the River Okement with mature trees and shrubs around, yet unbelievably only around half a mile from Okehampton High Street and even closer to a Waitrose Supermarket and other more immediate facilities. The property enjoys excellent communal facilities including a homeowner’s lounge, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge of £25 per night applies.
It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Rivers Edge Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from including; regular coffee mornings, knitting group and organised coach trips. Whilst there is something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and home owners can ‘dip in and out’ of activities as they wish.
This apartment is located on the first floor and just a short walk from the lift service to all floors. This is a comfortable two-bedroom apartment having a spacious living room with a westerly facing balcony enjoying River views. There is a well fitted kitchen complete with integrated appliances and a modern bath room with a separate shower cubicle.
