2 bedroom House - Retirement (Available)

Overall Description

This apartment forms part of this historic Grade II Listed building that originally was the Christ's Hospital School and still retains impressive original features such as the clock tower, marble hall and spiral staircase. The apartment is part of the newer wing to the rear and is on the second floor with lift and stair access and a pleasant aspect looking out across Hertford towards Hertford East Station and overlooking the communal gardens.. The property has just been redecorated and has been fitted with new carpets and the kitchen, bathroom and wall-mounted electric radiators were all modernised a few years back so it is in very good order throughout. There is a good-sized sitting/dining room with glazed door opening onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. There is a modern fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The entrance hall has a storage cupboard and a separate airing cupboard. The site is managed by Home Group and has a warden on site in the front office and each flat is connected to that office via the Careline intercom system giving residents peace-of-mind that there is someone on hand if they are needed. There is also an emergency pull-chord in each room and a separate button attached to a lanyard. Residents have use of the large communal lounge and attractively landscaped communal gardens and there is a resident's association and regular events and activities organised by the Home Group team, so there is a lively community at Chauncy Court if you wish to take part. Residents need to be over 60 years to live at Chauncy Court. To watch our Virtual Video Guided Tour please search for "33 Chauncy Court" on You Tube. Please call to arrange a convenient time to come and look around the apartment and excellent communal amenities in person. The property is being sold with no chain.

Location

Hertford has a very good range of local facilities such as shops, restaurants, and supermarkets (Tesco and M&S Food are all a short walk away), yet is also an attractive and very pleasant place to live. The doctors, dentists and opticians are all within walking distance. The town is surrounded by some very beautiful countryside and has a wide range of leisure pursuits close to hand, including Hartham Common with its riverside walks, Activity Centre, swimming pool and tennis courts.
