Description
This LARGER STYLE two bedroom first floor apartment is located on the first floor of this highly sought-after block of retirement flats, Sycamore Lodge, for those of us aged over 55 years of age. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property benefits from a good sized refitted kitchen with built in appliances and walk-in larder; refitted shower room with walk-in shower; good sized lounge; and two bedrooms (one currently used as a dining room with archway from the lounge - but this could easily be altered to form a separate room again, if required). Upon entering the apartment, one is immediately struck by it's feeling of brightness and space (quite rare with some retirement homes). There is ample storage, including a large walk-in cupboard with light in the hallway. Sycamore Lodge has been a firm favourite for retirement living for many years here in Orpington. With staircases and lifts to all floors, communal facilities also include a wonderful residents' lounge, laundry, well maintained south facing gardens, a guest suite available to residents' visitors, and a part-time lodge manager, plus emergency 24 response with pull chords. in all rooms.
This "chain-free" apartment is just a short level walk to Orpington High Street with it's comprehensive selection of shops, coffee shops, restaurants and leisure facilities including The Odeon Cinema complex. Access can also be gained to the mainline station, and bus routes serving many locations.
