Church Place, Uxbridge

Extend your independence, move to this Spacious thoughtfully designed two double bedroom house that is a short, level walk to the heart of Ickenham village.Built in the mid-1990s, it was designed for people 55+ looking for a relaxed retirement home to enable an active and carefree, independent life in a friendly, secure community, without the stresses of property maintenance.The houses face two beautiful courtyards. Owners avoided the isolation which so many experienced in the last two years, because they were able to keep in touch with neighbours and friends across garden fences or at a distance in the courtyards. This peaceful haven has very little road noise; yet it is only a few minutes' level stroll past the village pond to reach Ickenham's shops, library, Compass theatre, bus stops and the step-free Ickenham tube station.Church Place is managed by Cognatum (a not-for-profit organisation). A management couple live on site to provide a friendly service, dealing with external property maintenance and tending the extensive communal grounds to a high standard.
