When Great Homes Limited completed Windsor Court, the stylish development of one and two bedroomed retirement apartments in Hoxton Close, Singleton, its team felt sure the complex was set to be a success. Now, as sales reach the 70% mark, they are delighted that so many people have chosen to make it their home.
"We welcomed the first residents to Windsor Court earlier this year, and they have been followed by many more moving into their new home since," says David Sparks, managing director of Great Homes, the award-winning company based at Chafford Hundred on the Kent/Essex border. "Now, as sales have reached, and almost succeeded, 70% of the total number of apartments there are just a few remaining."
The reason Windsor Court has proved so popular is the fact that it is conveniently located close to amenities, affords thoughtfully designed apartments with a high spec, offers extras like a residents' lounge and conservatory, and has some of the latest safety and security technology in place for residents' complete peace of mind. "Many of our new residents have commented on the interiors and the fact that they feel secure here," adds Mr Sparks.
Each apartments lies off interior-designed and carpeted corridors set over three floors. A lift ensures easy access to all levels. Step inside, and each home has a
private hallway complete with a good size storage cupboard, a fully fitted bathroom with a bath, vanity unit and in some cases a separate shower too, and one or two bedrooms depending on which style is chosen. A spacious open plan lounge and dining area with a neat kitchen to one corner, a layout that has proved exceptionally popular at Windsor Court, completes the accommodation.
Throughout each apartment the attention to detail is evident. For example, every kitchen is fitted with a washer/dryer, fridge/freezer, double oven, extractor hood and hob integrated into a range of wood effect units. Spot lights add a finishing touch to the ceiling, while under pelmet lighting is both practical and atmospheric. Vinyl floor covering and ceramic wall tiles from a range especially chosen by Great Homes for their modern yet practical look completes the space.
Elsewhere, the apartments have carpets to the lounge, dining and bedroom areas, carpet flooring to the bathrooms, and lots of extras like attractive oak veneer internal doors, Italian brass door furniture and coving to most rooms. Each is fitted with Economy 7 heating units and terrestrial and satellite television points, plus two telephone points, one a BT socket and the other for a free internal telephone system that links all the apartments - a great way to keep in touch with new found friends and fellow residents!
Windsor Court is very much about making new friends, and living a lifestyle that offers contentment, relaxation and a sense of safety. A private honey and terracotta themed residents' lounge and adjoining conservatory offers the chance to meet new neighbours, while safety features include a CCTV entryphone system that allows visitors to be seen before they can enter, a 24-hour support and careline facility provided by specialist management company Peverel for use in the event of an emergency, and a day duty manager on site.
Outside, Windsor Court is a building of mellow brick and weatherboarding with French doors and juliet balconies amongst its features. The building is constructed of environmentally friendly materials that provide good sound and heat insulation, something that Great Homes is especially proud. The company's use of such materials was a factor when it won an award in the Daily Mail property awards recently.
The building also stands in private landscaped gardens enclosed by crafted wrought iron fenchwork, with a network of little pathways to terraces, maturing shrub beds and a reed pond.
Within walking distance is a varied selection of amenities, including a confectionery and tobacconist shop, hairdressers, a restaurant, takeaway and a medical centre. Windsor Court has its own car park for motoring residents, but for those who do not drive there's a good bus service that links Hoxton Close with Ashford centre and its heady mix of historic buildings housing specialist shops, cafes and theatre.
Windsor Court offers a great new lifestyle, but with just a few of its apartments remaining now is the time to secure a new home - and there's still time to be in before Christmas.
