Having decided to up sticks and move the process of selling an existing property can seem a daunting task, especially if an ideal new home has already been found. The pressure to sell is stressful. Recognising this and wanting to eliminate such stress for its prospective new residents, Great Homes is offering a part exchange opportunity* on the apartments in its final phase at Windsor Court, its select development of retirement properties at Singleton, near Ashford in Kent.
“Selling a property can be a trying time and we felt that by offering part exchange it would help to make a move to Windsor Court a worry-free experience,” explains David Sparks, managing director of Great Homes Limited, and award-winning and Investor in People company. “Part exchange can mean a quick, easy move, and we are delighted that we are able to improve the service we offer our new residents in this way.”
Windsor Court is a beautifully presented development of 46 one and two bedroomed retirement apartments in Hoxton Close, Singleton, that features state-of-the-art safety and security systems, emergency facilities, elegant surroundings, landscaped gardens, car parking and a location that is close to local amenities and a bus route for journeys further afield. In Windsor Court, Great Homes offers an entirely new approach to independent living for buyers of 55 years and over.
Externally, the three-storey building is designed in an L-shaped arrangement, with attractive mellow brickwork with white cladding, attractive windows and architectural features, juliet balconies to upper floors, a conservatory, terrace and landscaped gardens. The garden comes complete with its own reed pond and a good size car parking area.
Inside a sense of luxury is immediately evident. Communal hallways are beautifully decorated and carpeted to a terracotta and honey theme, and lead to the private entrance doors of the apartments, a guest suite and a large, bright and especially elegant residents’ lounge. A kitchen is set within an alcove off the lounge so there is never a need to go far to make tea for an afternoon gathering with fellow residents, while a conservatory gives the opportunity to sit and look out over a terrace to the gardens. The lounge and conservatory continue the terracotta and honey décor theme.
Each residents’ apartment, similarly, is presented with an elegant finish. The specification includes carpets throughout, except the kitchen which has vinyl flooring. They feature a private hallway that leads to the one or two bedrooms depending on which style is chosen, a private bathroom and a spacious lounge, dining and kitchen area designed in what has proved a hugely popular open plan arrangement.
“We have been overjoyed by comments about how convenient the open plan arrangement is proving from the residents who have already moved into Windsor Court,” says Mr Sparks. “The fact that they can continue their conversation with guests while cooking has been a big plus for them.”
Each kitchen comes with a wood-effect finish, and a range of integrated appliances that include a washer/dryer, fridge/freezer, oven, hob and extractor hood. Elsewhere, the standard specification includes attractive internal doors, coving to most rooms, extra storage, a free internal telephone system, terrestrial and satellite television, and elegant bathrooms with a vanity unit, bath and, in most apartments, a separate shower.
Residents can also enjoy peace of mind through impressive safety and security features at Windsor Court. For instance, a CCTV system is installed that allows residents to see visitors before they are allowed entry into the building. There is also duty day manager who ensures the smooth running of the complex and 24-hour emergency support at the press of a button provided by specialist management company Peverel.
Windsor Court, which is based on the designs of Sandringham Court, a similar retirement apartment complex in Essex that won Great Homes Limited a much sought-after award in the Daily Mail Property Awards, offers a luxurious environment combined with convenience. Nearby, are shops for everyday purchases, a medical centre and hairdressers, among others, while Ashford city centre is within easy reach for a larger selection of stores, including the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet village, along with many leisure opportunities.
