64 Garnier Drive, Bishopstoke Park Retirement Village, SO50 6HE

Positioned on the first floor above the main reception, 64 Garnier Drive enjoys an especially convenient location within the heart of Bishopstoke Park. Its elevated position also gives the apartment an interesting outlook across the main entrance courtyard towards the attractive Mount Wellness building.  Stepping inside, the entrance hall has useful built-in storage and leads through to the principal rooms. One of the first things you notice about this apartment is just how generous the proportions are. The living room measures approximately 20'5" at its maximum and provides plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a dining area. A large south-facing window allows plenty of natural light to flood into the room and looks across the courtyard, giving you something rather more interesting to look out on than a conventional apartment outlook.  The adjoining kitchen is compact but neatly fitted with a good range of cream shaker-style cupboards and work surfaces together with an integrated oven and sink. It is important to note that the kitchen does not have a hob, freezer or washing machine, although there is nothing to prevent these being added.. The bedroom is another real surprise, measuring approximately 18'4" x 12'1". There is ample room for a large bed together with additional bedroom furniture, while fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage. Again, the large south-facing window keeps the room wonderfully bright.  Completing the accommodation is a well-appointed shower room with a large level-access shower, WC, wash basin and useful fitted storage. 64 Garnier Drive is one of the apartments designated for Retirement Living or Assisted Living, giving residents the choice of two levels of support. The Retirement Living package currently provides one hour of housekeeping each week at £24.60. Alternatively, the Assisted Living package is currently £1,065.99 per month and includes a two-course meal each day, one hour of housekeeping each week, one bag of laundry each week, all utilities and the apartment's service charge.  For somebody who would rather spend their time enjoying the surroundings and facilities than cooking, cleaning and doing laundry, this apartment starts to make a great deal of sense. Bishopstoke Park itself offers an exceptional range of facilities designed to make day-to-day life both easy and enjoyable, including Antler's Restaurant and Bar, Cotton's Café, the Mount Wellness Centre with swimming pool and gym, hair salon, library, landscaped grounds and woodland walks.
