Property description

The English Courtyard Association and The Beechcroft Trust –synonymous with the very best in retirement housing since the 1980s.

A rarely available three bedroom cottage with a private terrace garden and roof terrace enjoying views over the landscaped gardens.Halstead, on the Essex / Suffolk border, takes its name from two Saxon words meaning a healthy place to live. With its two impressive churches, St Andrews and Holy Trinity, standing on guard at either end of the town, Halstead has all the amenities for everyday needs, including a small cottage hospital. There are a number of important centres within easy reach including Braintree, Colchester and Chelmsford; all of which have good train services to London.

The development also has its own mini bus service to help residents with their shopping in the local area.Situated on the south-westerly side of the Courtyard gardens, 22 North Mill Place occupies a particularly attractive position with north-easterly views across the gardens to the front, with a small garden area beyond the patio garden to the rear. The property is larger than the average English Courtyard retirement cottage, and it has been maintained to a particularly high standard. Much thought and research was originally given by the architects in designing a property to take into account the problems of advancing age, and the result is a cottage that can be adapted in many ways to meet the needs of retired people.
