1 Bed Retirement Property For Sale

Tucked at the rear of the main building, 34 Garnier Drive enjoys a wonderfully triple-aspect layout and easy ground-floor access-ideal for those seeking a calm, leafy outlook with village amenities close by. The bedroom and one kitchen window face west over the rear lawn and beech tree, while the other kitchen window and the living room's French doors look across to the sensory garden.
A wide entrance hall with a built-in cloaks cupboard sets a practical tone. The dual-aspect living room (north and east) feels cool and comfortable through the warmer months, and opens to a private patio where you can sit out and catch the afternoon sun. The kitchen is pleasantly bright with two large windows, cream shaker-style cupboards, space for a table and chairs, and the usual integrated appliances (including oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher).
The bedroom is a generous double with a five-door fitted wardrobe, providing excellent storage. The shower room features step-free access and includes a built-in utility cupboard for cleaning kit and linens-keeping everything neatly out of sight.
Exclusively for those aged 65 and over, Bishopstoke Park offers a superb lifestyle with access to a restaurant and bar, wellness centre (pool, sauna, steam room and gym), hair salon, village shop, library and beautifully kept grounds with woodland walks. Flexible care and housekeeping packages are available should your needs change over time.
