Clayton Court, The Brow, Burgess Hill, RH15 9DB

Price Guide £150,000 to £175,000. Independent living with a real sense of community. A beautifully apartment combining generous accommodation, lovely communal gardens and town-centre convenience, with a friendly community and plenty to get involved in whenever you choose.

Clayton Court offers a lovely balance – the freedom and independence of having your own home, with a friendly and welcoming community around you whenever you want it.

Built by McCarthy Stone in 2013 for the over 60s, this beautifully presented second-floor apartment is ideally positioned close to the residents' lounge and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Step inside and a private entrance hall provides an impressive amount of storage, including a particularly generous walk-in cupboard.

The lounge/dining room is bright and comfortable, with a Juliet balcony bringing in plenty of natural light and providing ample room for both relaxing and dining. The adjoining kitchen is smartly fitted with integrated appliances including an oven, ceramic hob and fridge/freezer.

The double bedroom is another generously proportioned room and has the real bonus of a large walk-in wardrobe, while a spacious wet room completes the accommodation. Underfloor heating and double glazing add to the comfort of this easy-to-manage home.

Life at Clayton Court

Of course, there's more to Clayton Court than the apartment itself.

The welcoming residents' lounge provides a natural place to meet neighbours, while a varied social calendar offers everything from fitness activities to cinema evenings and other get-togethers. The beauty is that you can be as involved as you wish – joining in when you fancy some company while retaining complete independence in your own home.

And don't just take our word for it...

During our visit, we had the pleasure of chatting with two residents who spoke incredibly warmly about living here. They particularly valued having friendly faces around them every day, the reassurance of neighbours who are happy to help one another and the freedom to dip in and out of the social side of life whenever they choose.

They were also especially complimentary about the beautifully maintained communal gardens – somewhere lovely to sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings without having to worry about maintaining them yourself.

There is also a guest suite for visiting friends and family, a communal laundry, House Manager, security entry system and lifts to the upper floors. Resident parking is available to rent, subject to availability, alongside visitor spaces.

Best of all, Clayton Court is just a flat five-minute walk from Burgess Hill town centre, putting shops, cafés and everyday amenities within easy reach.
