2 bedroom detached house for sale

15 Muskerry Court is a beautifully presented two bedroom end of terrace wing house with enclosed garden and garage. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing. Just on the edge of ancient Rusthall, Muskerry Court is in a classical parkland setting with a delightful tree-lined avenue. It takes its name from Lord Muskerry, who acquired the Manor of Rusthall in 1664, and the buildings take their inspiration from Regency architect Decimus Burton, who designed much of the nearby spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The properties are approached through an impressive archway leading into a formal courtyard with an ornamental pond and fountain, encircled by a gravel driveway. Rusthall actually predates its more famous neighbour and was also home to wells known for their curative powers. The village continues to thrive today, with a lively high street and a wonderful range of excellent restaurants and pubs. Nearby Rusthall Common and its neighbour Tunbridge Wells Common offer between them more than 250 acres in which to walk, relax, picnic and birdwatch. The shops, museums and galleries of Royal Tunbridge Wells are a very short drive away. Hever Castle, the seat of the infamous Boleyn family from 1462 to 1539, is also located close by. Cognatum Estates maintains, repairs and insures allthe buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are on hand to provide support and help when needed, making this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property.
