2 bed Flat For Sale £265,000
A spacious and well presented apartment set in an impressive up-market retirement complex, which has been carefully conceived to cater for the elderly whether they are of a sociable disposition or whether they prefer to be more solitary.
The Abbeyfield development is conveniently located in sought after Girton village on the western edge of Cambridge city and flat 63 is offered with no onward chain.
Abbeyfield is a high quality complex restricted to those who are over 55 years of age. It provides a private, secure, self-contained community and probably has more in common with hotel serviced apartments, a club or a cruise ship, rather than a standard apartment building for the elderly. The list of facilities and services which are available to residents is vast and includes: Restaurant, coffee shop, swimming pool / sauna, / steam room / jacuzzi hot tub, gym, beautician, hairdresser, cinema / music room, Activities room with computers and card tables, conservatory meeting room. A twin bedded guest suite is available for daily rental at an attractive price. There are nicely tended gardens with outdoor seating areas. There is 24 hour staffing and an emergency call system from each apartment and in the public areas. Allocated parking (and disabled parking) is available for residents and there is visitor's parking. Drying room with clothes driers provided. Bike shed and a buggy / mobility scooter room. A minibus goes to supermarkets and the city centre twice a week. In addition, a bus stop and a Co-Op are only a short walk away.
On the social side there are many clubs and groups and any resident can propose a new group if needed to cater for their own particular interests.
Number 63 is on the second floor and originally was designed as a two bedroom apartment but has had the internal layout adapted to create a larger open-plan living space instead of the second bedroom.
The entrance to flat 63 is spacious with places for hanging coats, umbrellas, shoes and there are built in airing and storage cupboards and a full bathroom off. The now more spacious sitting room / dining room or study has two sets of doors on to the balcony. In the original second bedroom area there was fitted furniture lending itself to that room becoming a study instead.
The kitchen opens off the sitting room and is well fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units and has integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, oven and an electric hob with extractor over and plenty of work surfaces.
The property has a bright double bedroom with two good built-in wardrobes, tall windows and a glazed door to the balcony all of which provide lots of light, and it has an en-suite wet room with a shower, w.c and hand-basin. The en-suite bathroom has excellent cabinet space which is very tastefully done. There is a further full bathroom with a panelled bath with shower over, wash basin, wc and heated towel rail.
Abbeyfield Girton Green is excellent for those who are looking for completely independent living but who want easy access to excellent facilities and the opportunity for socialising if & when one wants.
The apartment is leasehold with around 115 years of the lease remaining. The service charge is currently about £736 a month. It includes the ground rent of £500 a year and covers an amazing selection of facilities including weekly housekeeping cleaning service.
