Description
Carfax Court provides a variety of communal facilities for the benefit of residents, including a drawing room and two well-furnished double guest suites which can be booked at a nominal charge through the resident secretary. All these areas are fully carpeted, and the drawing room is tastefully furnished. There is also lift access to all apartments in sections of the development over two storeys in height. There is a laundry/utility room with a range of washing machines and tumble dryers together with a sink unit. This facility is for the free use of residents and is covered by the service charge. Lighting in communal areas is by time switch, photoelectric cell or push-button as circumstance best dictate. All areas within the development are protected by a fire alarm system, and static equipment (such as extinguishers and fire blankets) is amply provided.
Carfax Court has been carefully designed to provide residents with accommodation of the highest quality within a scheme that combines ease of living with privacy and independence, in an area convenient for both shopping and leisure facilities.
Located in a peaceful spot, backing onto Durdham Downs and just a short distance from the amenities on Blackboy Hill and so to Whiteladies Road, and similarly to Waitrose in the opposite direction.
Sold with no onward chain so a prompt move is possible.
