About
Ref AH1286 Marketed By Alex Harding Personal Estate Agent One of a select few one-bedroom plus apartments, set within this highly sought-after purpose-built over-55s development, constructed by McCarthy & Stone in 1997, and occupying a fantastic central village position—just a short walk from shops, amenities and transport links.
The apartment itself offers more space than the standard one-bedroom, thanks to a generous L-shaped open plan lounge diner, alongside a fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a recently remodelled shower room, entrance hall, and a large walk-in storage and airing cupboard.
Finished in neutral tones with plain carpets throughout, the property feels bright, warm and welcoming, further enhanced by its desirable south-facing aspect overlooking Bingham Road.
Positioned on the top floor of this well-maintained three-storey building, the apartment is served by both lift and stairs.
Offered on a leasehold basis exclusively for the over 55s, the development benefits from excellent communal facilities, landscaped gardens, parking and secure intercom entry.
The communal foyer is accessed via a secure intercom entry system, leading to well-kept shared areas with lift and staircase rising to the second floor, where the apartment’s own solid timber front door opens into the entrance hall.
The entrance hall provides intercom access, coved ceiling, a meter cupboard, and a useful walk-in storage and airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder, with shelving, lighting and fuse board.
The lounge diner is a standout feature—a spacious L-shaped reception room measuring over 19 feet in length, offering clearly defined areas for both relaxing and dining.
With two south-facing windows, the room is filled with natural light and includes a fireplace with timber surround, electric fire, wall lighting, and glazed double doors leading through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fully fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces with tiled splashbacks, stainless steel sink, built-in eye-level oven, electric hob with extractor, and space for additional appliances.
A south-facing window continues the bright and airy feel. The bedroom is a well-proportioned double, featuring a full run of mirrored fitted wardrobes, wall lighting, and another south-facing window.
The shower room has been recently refurbished, now offering a modern, practical suite with a large shower enclosure, chrome fittings, full tiling, heated towel rail, and thoughtful additions including grab rails and storage recess.
Brielen Court itself offers a range of communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, dining area with kitchenette, laundry room, and a guest suite available for visiting friends and family.
Externally, the development is set back from Bingham Road with a paved forecourt and secure entry, while to the rear there is a large residents’ car park with ample spaces and a buggy store.
The communal gardens are beautifully maintained, featuring shaped lawns, established borders and seating areas—perfect for enjoying the surroundings.
Further details include a 125-year lease from 1997, an annual service charge covering maintenance, insurance and communal upkeep, and a ground rent payable annually.
The property also benefits from a 24-hour emergency Careline system and lift access to all floors.
Finally, Radcliffe-on-Trent offers a wide range of local amenities including shops, healthcare, restaurants, and leisure facilities, along with excellent transport links to Nottingham, Leicester and beyond—making this an ideal and convenient place to call home.
