A dual aspect, one bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor with walk on balcony
Introduction:
This bright and well presented one bedroom apartment enjoys a double aspect living room and balcony with a very leafy outlook towards the river. There is a well fitted kitchen complete with integrated oven and halogen ceramic hob and a freestanding washer/dryer is included in the sale, as are an individual under counter fridge and freezer units.
Constructed in early-2010 by multi-award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy and Stone, Rivers Edge Court is a ‘Retirement Living’ development providing an exceptional quality-of-lifestyle opportunity for the over 60s and designed for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent House Manager.
As the development name implies, it is in a tranquil riverside setting adjacent to the River Okement with mature trees and shrubs around. Okehampton High Street, Waitrose, Co-op and two independent shopping arcades are a short, flat walk away. The property enjoys excellent communal facilities including a homeowner lounge with conservatory area, scooter store and relaxing landscaping. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and intercom system providing a reassuring 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 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 ‘dip in and out’ of activities as they wish.
