52 Homechester House

A great opportunity to buy this lovely maisonette situated in the Homechester House development giving you all the benefits of Assisted Living but keeping the independence of your own front door.  The property has been lovingly updated with oak veneered doors and plaster set coved ceilings and is beautifully decorated throughout.  The bathroom has been extended to give the luxury of a bath and separate shower and the fully fitted kitchen is well equipped with a bright modern feel to it.  The generously sized living room has space for both a comfortable seating and dining area.  Being south facing the room has a light and airy feel as do the bedrooms above.  There is plenty of storage throughout and fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom.  There is also the added advantage of a toilet on two floors.

Stairs take you to both floors of the living accommodation although the property can still be accessed via the lift and communal landings.
