Property description

Beautifully presented two-bed Retirement Apartment, quietly tucked away and enjoying pleasant outlooks to fields and woods both front and rear aspects

Summary

It's justified to suggest that this beautiful apartment is certainly among the better positioned within Wingfield Court. Tucked away at the end of a first floor hallway but conveniently placed for the lift service to the excellent communal amenities of the development. The apartment also benefits from a dual aspect to both front and rear, the front is especially pleasing looking down the entrance of the development across the sports grounds of Sherborne Boys School to the hillside fields and woods in the distance. The apartment offers very roomy and welcoming two-bedroomed accommodation for which there is always a healthy level of interest. The warm and welcoming sitting room enjoys an interesting and pleasing outlook over the development gardens. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of low level integrated appliances, in addition there is a modern shower room with an low-level accessed double shower.

Constructed in late 2011 by award-winning retirement home specialists McCarthy and Stone, Wingfield Court is a ‘Retirement Living’ development providing an independent lifestyle opportunity for those aged over 60 with the peace-of-mind provided by support of our excellent House Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development. The development enjoys superb communal facilities including an excellent homeowner’s lounge, laundry, scooter store and gardens. In addition, 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 nightly charge applies. It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at Wingfield Court; there are always plenty of regular activities to enjoy, these vary from coffee mornings or film nights through to organised day 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.

Despite its quiet backwater setting Wingfield Court is in a fabulous location less than a mile from the Town Centre, with its superb range of shops, bars and restaurants. Other excellent local amenities, include; the Abbey, Sherborne Castle, Waitrose, Sainsburys and the rail station.
