About
Apartment 78 is an immaculately presented one bedroom retirement property for those aged 55 and over, offered for sale with no chain.
Set on the top floor, it enjoys one of the best positions in the development, with far-reaching views across the beautifully maintained gardens.
Kingswood is designed for independent living, with the reassurance of low-level care available if ever needed. The apartment itself has a particularly welcoming feel.
The entrance hall is spacious, with two useful storage cupboards and a secure entry system.
The living room is the real highlight - larger than many similar retirement apartments - and includes a recessed sitting area that frames the garden views perfectly.
The kitchen is open to the living space and comes with timber-effect units, an oven and hob, and has plumbing ready for a dishwasher plus space for further appliances.
The bedroom is generously sized and benefits from fitted wardrobes, it connects directly to the Jack and Jill shower room, which is well-finished with non-slip flooring, tiling, a chrome thermostatic shower, basin and WC.
