Great Homes Limited, the award-winning company behind a number of retirement apartment projects in Essex and Kent, is delighted to announce a new development in Notley Road, Braintree.
Comprising 28 high specification one and two bedroom apartments, the new development has been designed exclusively for buyers of 55 years and over. Among its many features will be state-of-the-art safety and security technology, including a CCTV entryphone system for its eventual residents’ complete peace of mind, along with a build quality that ensures energy efficiency.
“We are very excited about the new project,” says David Sparks, managing director of Chafford Hundred-based Great Homes Limited. “While we recognise that the property market is slow at the present time, we feel it will improve in the months ahead and as there is a real need for apartment homes that provide an independent lifestyle for residents of retirement years in Braintree now is a good time to announce the project.”
In addition to CCTV, the apartments will offer its residents features such as an emergency careline facility whereby help can be summoned at the press of a button, along with the services of a duty manager who will ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the complex.
Residents will be able to make new friends in a planned communal lounge, while the complex will stand in its own landscaped gardens close to the centre of this popular market town. Close by are day-to-day amenities, while Braintree town centre and the nearby towns of Chelmsford, Witham and Halstead offer a good selection of shopping and leisure opportunities.
Inside each apartment the specification will include a quality kitchen with integrated appliances such as a fridge and freezer, an oven, ceramic hob and washer dryer, while bathrooms will have high standard sanitaryware, baths and showers as well as elegant tiling and vanity furniture. Elsewhere, floor coverings will be provided throughout, there will be lots of television and telephone points, and energy efficient heating too.
The building will be constructed so that it blends sympathetically with its surroundings, and have attractive features like Juliet balconies and terraces to some apartments. It will be built using environmentally friendly building materials from reputable sources.
As a responsible developer, Great Homes plans to introduce measures that will minimize the impact on the environment in terms of energy efficiency and volume of water consumption. The use of low carbon renewable energy technology to reduce running costs for future purchasers is one such feature planned.
It is this thinking that has helped Great Homes win Daily Mail Property Awards for two consecutive developments of retirement apartments in recent years. Sandringham Court in Hadleigh, Essex, was named the Best Essex Development in 2005, and the company’s Windsor Court project in Singleton, near Ashford in Kent, won the Best Retirement Development in Kent in 2007.
“We have many plans for the new Braintree development and am looking forward to unveiling more details as the project progresses,” adds Mr Sparks. Construction is due to start in the autumn, with completion planned for next year.
