Property Insight
A well-presented first-floor apartment within a popular over-55s development, with the famous Warren Hill gallops right at the entrance and a short, level walk into the town centre. Life here is designed to be easy and secure: a lodge manager is on hand to offer support to residents, with careline monitoring, lift access to all floors and beautifully maintained communal gardens. Everyday concerns such as buildings insurance, the grounds and the upkeep of the communal areas are all taken care of, leaving residents free to enjoy the setting and the town on the doorstep.
A wide, bright entrance hall with fresh carpeting leads to the whole of the accommodation. The lounge/dining room is the standout space, running to over 23 feet with a bay window to the front and ample room for both comfortable seating and a dining table. The kitchen sits off the hall, fitted with light shaker-style units, granite-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks, with a gas cooker, space for a washing machine and a window to the rear; it is tidy and serviceable, with scope for a new owner to modernise in time.
Both bedrooms are doubles, the principal a generous room with space for freestanding wardrobes, served by a shower room with a corner enclosure, WC and vanity unit. The property also includes a single garage in a nearby block, with power and lighting, along with parking for residents and visitors. With the town centre within walking distance and the gallops at the development entrance, it offers a comfortable, low-maintenance home in one of Newmarket’s most characterful positions.
