1 bedroom retirement property for sale

Set on the corner of the lower ground floor within the main building, 23 Garnier Drive offers an unusually generous choice of outdoor space with three separate patio areas-one west-facing by the woodland walk for afternoon sun, and two north-facing terraces that keep the apartment pleasantly cool in summer. For winter comfort, there's underfloor heating throughout and a feature fire in the living room.
The welcoming hallway includes a double storage cupboard housing the utilities and meters. The dual-aspect living room is bright and well-proportioned, with two sets of French doors opening to the patios, making entertaining or a morning coffee wonderfully easy. Glazed double doors lead into the cream shaker-style kitchen, fitted with a full suite of integrated appliances-oven, microwave, induction hob, slimline dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer-and a window overlooking the woodland walk.
The bedroom is a generous double with a built-in triple wardrobe and French doors to the third patio area. The en-suite shower room features a step-free walk-in shower, WC and a vanity unit with fitted cupboards, plus an extractor fan for ventilation.
Exclusively for those aged 65 and over, Bishopstoke Park offers an exceptional lifestyle with access to the restaurant and bar, wellness centre (pool, sauna, steam room and gym), hair salon, village shop, library and beautifully maintained grounds with woodland walks. Flexible care and housekeeping packages are available should your needs change over time.
Vendor note: The current owner has enjoyed living here since 2023 and is moving to be nearer to family.
