The accommodation centres around a generous living room, filled with natural light and offering ample space for both lounge and dining furniture, with access through to a modern, well-equipped kitchen complete with a range of integrated appliances.
The double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, whilst a contemporary shower room completes the internal accommodation.
Positioned on the first floor with no apartment directly above, the property enjoys a peaceful setting within the development, alongside the added benefits of Economy 7 heating, Sky connection points and a secure entry system.
Rowleys Court is a well regarded McCarthy & Stone development, designed exclusively for the over 60s, offering independent living with the reassurance of on-site support.
Residents enjoy access to excellent communal facilities, including a welcoming homeowners’ lounge where regular social events take place, creating a real sense of community.
Further peace of mind is provided via a 24-hour emergency call system and camera entry system, whilst a House Manager is on hand to assist when needed.
For visiting friends and family, a guest suite is available (subject to availability and a small nightly fee).
Ideally positioned on Sandhurst Street, just off the A6 Leicester Road, the development sits within easy reach of Oadby’s wide range of amenities, including shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants.
