A fabulous chance to purchase a recently renovated first floor apartment, especially for those in their leisure years with two double bedrooms, large reception room and offering 1074 sq. ft (100 sq. m) of internal living space. The apartment is located in the popular Dorset village of Motcombe and just a short level walk to the village centre where there is a community run shop with café and part time post. A little further on is the village hall which hosts a variety of events and behind this is the village recreation grounds. There is also a primary school, church and the Coppelridge Inn, which serves food and has accommodation.
The original building was previously a prep school, which was converted and extended in 2003 to provide luxury retirement living in a village location. The complex offers many facilities including social clubs and events plus croquet in the grounds. There is a development manager, emergency call facility, dining room that serves lunches five days a week, bar, drawing room and library as well as a hairdressing salon. There is also a guest suite that may be booked for a nominal fee.
The apartment itself offers bright and spacious accommodation, there is a large sitting/dining room with plenty of room for relaxing or entertaining friends and the balcony adds that extra bit of personal outside space to enjoy a coffee whilst catching up with a book or newspaper. The kitchen has ample storage cupboards and the two double bedrooms, both with wardrobes are ideal for overnight guests or double up as a study. Outside, the communal gardens are a delight and provide the ideal spot to catch up with other residents for a chat. And for convenience, there is your own parking space.
It is vital for a viewing to be carried out to truly appreciate the apartment as well as its surroundings.
