Property description
A refurbished beautifully presented one bedroomed retirement apartment with off road parking within walking distance of town, beach and train station.
In more detail ....
This lovely second floor apartment has been refurbished and provides a home where you can have all the benefits of independence but the security of an in house manager and 24 hour emergency call system. The apartment is accessed via a secure communal door and either stairs or lift to the second floor where the flat has the benefit of being an end apartment hence fewer party walls. The hallway is instantly welcoming with a good sized recessed cupboard providing slatted shelving for linen storage. The spacious light filled lounge with neutral decor has a double glazed window with a view to the rear aspect. There is an open door-sized arch which leads to the brand new kitchen which has an excellent attractive range of wall and base units with cream shaker style door fronts and oak effect worktop inset with a stainless steel sink unit and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Lamona fridge, electric cooker and hob. The bedroom is a good sized double and has the benefit of recessed wardrobes incorporating shelved storage and hanging space. In addition there is a superb newly fitted shower room with a double shower cubicle having an MX Inspiration LX1 shower and glass screen doors. The white suite includes a wash hand basin inset to a vanity unit with double cupboard beneath and a close coupled wc. There is tiled effect vinyl cushion flooring and beautiful wall tiling with a decorative tile in blue tones at dado height. New carpeting throughout and fitted blinds. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the lovely style and nature of this apartment.
What the owner likes ...
I have really enjoyed the tranquility of this apartment and the fact that it is so close to all the amenities. As it is fully refurbished I think it offers excellent value. I also loved the security aspect whilst maintaining my independence.
Bear in mind ...
All the principal rooms have an emergency pull cord system allowing security and peace of mind. A house manager is also present during normal office hours. Hometor House benefits from a Residents lounge, Laundry room, and the use of a Guest bedroom for visitors (£20 for single occupancy or £25 per couple on a nightly basis) so the latter means that a 2nd bedroom is not essential. The apartment is double glazed and has electric night storage heaters. Whilst an owner/occupier must be over 60 years old it is possible to have a further occupant below the age of 60.
The location ....
Hometor House sits within about a 1.25 miles of Exmouth seafront, with its 2 miles of golden, sandy beach. Exmouth town centre is just a level ten minute walk away, with all its local amenities. For keen walkers there is access nearby to many miles of coastal path starting at 'The Needle' at Orcombe Point, which denotes the start of the World Heritage coastline. The Exe Estuary has been designated an 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and offers further exceptional walks and a cycle path leading to Lympstone. The opportunities to enjoy a variety of water sports in addition to equestrian and golfing pursuits in the area are also plentiful. Exmouth train station provides access to the nearby Cathedral city of Exeter and beyond. Exmouth being a highly commutable coastal town, also within 20 minutes of the M5 motorway junction and offers an ideal base for those seeking an enhanced coastal lifestyle and enjoyment of all the area has to offer.
