About
A modern and superbly presented second floor apartment set within a popular retirement development just a short walk from Southbourne Grove with its shopping facilities and bus routes.
Avon Lodge is a relatively modern retirement development offering a full range of resident’s benefits to include exceptionally well-maintained communal gardens, a resident’s lounge, a laundry room, residents parking and house manager.
The development is situated in a highly practical position just a short distance from Southbourne Grove, with its array of independent shops, cafes and transport links into Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch.
With the area’s associated 7 miles of sandy beaches also just a little further beyond the high street – this development really is very well positioned!
Accessing the block via the main entrance with entry phone system in place, you pass the house manager’s office and move into the well-presented communal resident’s lounge – ideal for activities and socialising with other resident owners.
As you enter the subject apartment on the second floor, accessed by either lift or stairs, its hallway offers a good size cupboard for storage and has doors leading to all principal rooms with the kitchen located off the living room.
The living space is well proportioned offering space for both sofa suites and a dining room table, as well as other additional living room furniture.
The apartment also has the advantage of being in an elevated position, therefore giving views of the communal gardens to the rear as well as far-reaching views over roof tops towards St Catherines Hill in the distance.
Accessed via a glass panelled door in the living room, the kitchen offers eye and base level storage units, an oven and electric hob with extractor over, and space for an up-right fridge/ freezer.
The bedroom makes for a comfortable double room and is fitted with a double wardrobe with mirrored doors, also benefiting from a pleasant outlook over the communal garden and beyond.
The apartment is serviced by a modern and fully tiled shower room with large shower cubicle, low level w/c and hand wash basin with vanity unit.
Recently redecorated the apartment is immaculate throughout and ready for immediate occupation.
