Comment From Robert Reed Of Gascoigne Halman

I am delighted to offer to the market this superb ground floor apartment in Great Barrow, a really lovely option for those over 55's seeking an excellent value residential apartment. It is located within a small and select development that offers a peaceful setting adjoining countryside (the aspects are wonderful) yet also within walking distance of the village. Being ground floor, it offers many of the benefits commonly linked with a bungalow.

The apartment benefits from allocated off road parking and a lovely external area accessed directly from the apartment, ideal for enjoying a coffee or even al fresco dining. It is offered with no ongoing chain and provides excellent value.

The apartment has a warm, inviting and attractive atmosphere and is in really good order, ready to be moved into. It also has large windows allowing for plenty of natural light.

The modern and well-equipped kitchen is located just off the main living dining room area, providing a really appealing open-plan area overall. The living room area has a fireplace as its focal point while the kitchen, with its modern appliances, is a haven for those who appreciate intelligent design with aesthetic appeal.
