Address
Sandbriggs Court, Garstang, PR3 1JF
Hallway
The Hall is a well-designed link between all the main rooms, except the kitchen. There is a small, but rarely used storage heater, and space for a chest of drawers/ bookcase for storage. The switches for the bathroom light and fan extractor are situated here, just outside the bathroom. The caller/ entrance buttons are situated by the door, and there is an emergency pull cord.
Lounge (5.70m x 3.40m (18'8" x 11'2"))
This good sized living room enjoys views overlooking the resident's garden, where wildlife, are frequent visitors. Beyond the French windows is a small Juliet balcony (non-load bearing) which allows the resident to enjoy the sense of being outdoors without leaving the Apartment. A remote controlled blind (Hillary's - fitted 2019) allows the resident to control the light levels from the comfort of their chair. There are numerous power points, together with TV aerial point, telephone connection point, and emergency pull cord. Satellite TV can be installed by arrangement with sky or any other provider. There is a large storage heater which the current owner only uses during the winter months. The fire-surround houses a decorative electric heater, with a large over-mantle mirror being a feature of this room. There is a cream wool carpet in situ.
Coming off the Lounge, via double doors, there is a Galley type kitchen
Kitchen (2.75m x 1.75m (9'0" x 5'9"))
This is a lovely compact kitchen furnished with easy to maintain units for storage, and space for a Fridge and Freezer. The built-in Bosch fan oven was installed in 2018 and has hardly been used. The kitchen window also overlooks the garden. The hob is electric (there is no gas in this development - for safety reasons). There are all the usual power points and safety switches for items such as the oven and hob. There is an emergency pull rope situated by the the double doors.
Master Bedroom (5.36m x 2.84m (17'7" x 9'4"))
This is a good sized double bedroom with fitted mirrored wardrobes. There are ample power points, a television aerial point and emergency pull cord by the bed area. There is a night storage heater in this room also. This room also overlooks the garden area, and has a delightful airy feel to it. There is a very high quality wool (80/20) carpet in this bedroom in a pinky beige colour.
Bedroom Two (3.42m x 2.64m (11'3" x 8'8"))
The second bedroom has very useful fitted wardrobes in the corner near the entrance to the room. There is space for a single bed. However, this room has been used by the present owner as an area for more formal dining, doubling with use as a craft room. It too overlooks the gardens, has two sets of double power points, emergency pull cord and a storage heater.
Bathroom (1.7m x 1.7m (5'7" x 5'7"))
This bathroom has a large shower, hand-basin and toilet. It is carpeted, has a wall heater and there is an extraction fan. There is also and emergency button inside the shower cubicle.
Boiler Room / Airing Room (1.65m x 0.85 (5'5" x 2'9"))
This is the utility area of the Apartment, housing a large water heater, and a storage area for towels etc, plus the electricity meter for the Apartment. Because the heater puts out a considerable amount of heat to the room, it also acts as an airing cupboard. The present owner has a small rack for this purpose which fits in easily to the available space.
As said previously, this is a warm room, meaning that the ambient heat from the water heater is sufficient to heat the Apartment for a substantial part of the year. Details of current utility charges will be made available on request
