" We have seen quite a few of these apartments over the last 25 years but this is undoubtedly one of the most prime and uniquely positioned two bedroom properties within the Park Lodge development.

With a small part of one external wall adjoining another property, this newly decorated and re-styled two bedroom, first floor apartment with a refitted shower room, refitted kitchen and new flooring throughout is essentially a standalone home within the complex.

Conveniently positioned just a few steps away from the communal lounge lift, this lovely light apartment not only enjoys the warmth afforded from a southerly aspect but there are also windows from each room overlooking the internal communal garden.

A selection of shops and amenities are adjacent to the complex: these include opticians, doctors and dental surgeries and Billericay High Street is just a mile away. A bus stop is conveniently situated outside Park Lodge with a regular service into central Billericay and to the station.

PARK LODGE

Built by Wimpey Retirement Homes, the development comprises 79 studio, one bed and two bedroom apartments arranged over two floors, the upper floors serviced by two lifts. On-site facilities include a Residents` Lounge, Dining Area, Communal Computer Area, Laundry and Games Room.

Doors from the main residents` lounge open out to the patio and communal lawn.

The complex is set within its own landscaped grounds with parking available for visitors courtesy of two car parks at the front and rear of the building.

An experienced management company takes care of all external maintenance offering residents peace of mind without intruding into their privacy.

Aimed specifically at the over 55s, this is a development which allows you to live in a self-contained apartment offering total independence, yet with the added security, should you require it, and in a location which is convenient for everything.

MAIN ENTRANCE

Main entrance door with secure entry phone intercom link to all the flats.

Adjacent to the main entrance is the Manager`s Office, with the area around encompassing the two residents` lounges and dining area.

A lift from the communal lounge or stairs, positioned just behind the lift, gives access to the first floor.

THE APARTMENT

Private Entrance door through to:

ENTRANCE HALL

A wood laminate floor is fitted to the hall and extends into the living room. There is a wall mounted door entry and alarm system giving a two-way speech communication between you and the warden and also acting as a link to the main entrance door to let visitors in.

A huge walk-in cupboard 3ft 8&quote; x 3ft 4&quote; (1.11m x 1.01m) provides superb storage, plus in addition two further full height built-in cupboards house the cold water and hot water tank, each cupboard with shelving for added storage.

LOUNGEDINER 18ft 2&quote; x 9ft 10&quote; narrowing to 9ft 5&quote; (5.53m x 2.99m narrowing to 2.87m)

As mentioned, the wood laminate floor flows seamlessly into this naturally bright living room which embraces the southerly aspect and affords the natural warmth this aspect provides.

In addition to having plenty of room for a table and chairs together with the usual furniture for a sitting room, the rear window overlooks the communal courtyard and garden and there are double doors opening into the kitchen.

KITCHEN 8ft 5&quote; x 5ft 10&quote; (2.56m x 1.77m)

Well-lit by the rear window and with views of the communal garden, this recently refurbished kitchen has a tasteful, modern style with pale grey Shaker style floor and wall cabinets with complimentary worktops providing plenty of storage while also incorporating an electric induction hob with integrated extractor hood above and oven below. There are two spaces housing an undercounter fridge and Samsung washer dryer that we understand will remain.

BEDROOM ONE 11ft 8&quote; x 8ft 7&quote; (3.55m x 2.61m)

The measurements of this room exclude the double fitted wardrobe and, just like the lounge and kitchen, there is a window giving views of the communal gardens and has newly fitted carpet.

BEDROOM TWO 11ft 9&quote; narrowing to 8ft 10&quote; x 7ft (3.58m x 2.69m)

A versatile room that again has a window overlooking the communal gardens with newly fitted carpet.

BATHROOM

This refitted and fully tiled shower room has a fitted white suite which comprises a wc with concealed cistern, a washbasin and a double width walk in shower.

WARDEN CONTROLLED

Emergency alarm pull-cord is provided in the apartment. Pulling the cord will immediately alert the house manager to your need for help. When the Manager is off-duty, the system is linked to an emergency 24 hour Response Unit. Either in person or through the alarm intercom, you can be sure there will always be someone available in the event of an emergency day or night, every day of the year.

Subject to confirmation via the Solicitors we understand the Lease to be 99 years from 1983.

The current Service Charge is ?175.49 per month and includes the maintenance of the grounds, the warden and associated 24 hour emergency careline costs, building`s insurance and water rates.

All the property owner is responsible for is their own heating, lighting, decoration and maintenance of their own apartment and Council Tax.

The Ground Rent is ?75 per year.

LOCATION

Adjacent to Park Lodge is the Queens Park shopping centre which will provide most every day needs. Shops include Co-op supermarket, Boots the chemist, florist, dry cleaners and a pet shop.

There is also a doctors` surgery, dentist and opticians.

The `NIBS` bus stop outside the development provides transport to the high street and nearby towns.
