3 bedroom cottage for sale

Retire in Style to Penstones Court A spacious three-bedroom cottage with conservatory and garage set in landscaped gardens and with views across the courtyard located on a purpose built retirement development or 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. The properties of Penstones Court, set in the former farmyard of Penstones Farm, are built from local stone and finished with clay-tile roofs, integrating beautifully with the traditional local architecture. The two and three-bedroom cottages, some with additional features such as sun rooms or conservatories, are arranged around an attractive garden courtyard. The grounds are quite exceptional with a large paddock, a big natural pond, a croquet lawn, a putt-and-chip for golf practice and an allotment area for keen gardeners, and the estate offers unbroken views over the Vale of the White Horse. Stanford-in-the-Vale is a lively village that, in medieval days, rivalled nearby Abingdon for its market place, and it remains a thriving community with many active clubs and societies, as well as a hairdresser, post office, newsagent and supermarket all within a few minutes' walk. The Vale of the White Horse takes its name from the Bronze-Age figure carved into the hill above Uffington five miles away. White Horse Hill, now maintained by the National Trust, is a wonderful place to walk with commanding views over six counties. The estate is also only a short drive away from the 670 square miles of beautiful countryside in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Services include resident estate managers making this property ideal for a lock up and leave, regular gardening and a personal alarm system. 150 year lease (from 1993), no ground rent and 55+ age covenant.
