This particular apartment is in a lovely position within Fig Tree Court. Being on ground floor level, it has easy access from the main entrance with no stairs to worry about.

The property looks out onto beautifully kept grounds with well-maintained planted beds and a sitting area with a fountain. Similarly, the apartment is deemed as self-contained as patio doors open out into the shared grounds, so it can be accessed without using the main entrance.

The front door leads into an entrance hallway with storage. The living area is open plan to the kitchen. This is a lovely light space and you can even see the canal from the large patio doors. The modern kitchen area is very well fitted with an integrated fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave - so everything is in place and nicely designed. The living area has space for your lounge furniture and a dining table.

The double bedroom benefits from views to the front and next door to this is a spacious, modern shower room. The apartment also offers a security intercom system.

Fig Tree Court caters for a comfortable lifestyle with excellent communal facilities and the attached care home offers a meal delivery service at an extra cost. Within the development is a residents day lounge, a laundry room, communal gardens including a drying space for washing, and car parking.

The development is located about a mile from the town centre with a regular bus service running back and forth - the bus stops right outside. Amongst other town centre shops and facilities is Marks and Spencer Simply Food Store and Banbury’s department store. The bus service runs regularly to Exeter to the south and Tiverton Parkway Station for travel further afield. Just a short distance away is the Grand Western Canal along which are some lovely level walks.
