The Property
Number 6 Parkside Court comprises a first floor retirement flat built in the late 1980's by regional developers Dencora. The construction of the flats is made up of brick and blockwork cavity walls with tiled pitched roofs above. The development is restricted to a minimum age of 55 and enjoys the benefit of a house manger/warden and a dedicated care line which is available 365 days a year in absence of the manger.
On entering, a shared communal hallway has stairs which lead up to the first floor landing. A hard wood front door leads into the flat where you are welcomed by the inner hall. The hall has two large storage cupboards and provides access to the loft space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of shaker style wall and base units with appliance recesses for a washing machine, fridge and cooker. Adjacent is the spacious sitting room, providing plenty of space to accommodate both living and dining furniture with a good array of TV points, telephone points and power points. The room has a large bay-style window to south west aspect. The two double bedrooms are located to the rear of the flat with views over the communal garden and across the Diss Mere. The bathroom is a dated suite comprising a low level wc, hand washbasin and panelled bath with half tiled walls. Furthermore, the property also has the benefit of shared use of the residents lounge. The flat is being offered leasehold with a 99 year lease commencing in 1985. The flat has a ground rent of £106 per annum and a service charge of £1400 per annum, all payable half yearly.
