Abbeyfield Girton Green is an exclusive over-55s development designed for independent living, but with the sort of facilities, security and community feel more commonly associated with a hotel or cruise ship than a standard apartment block. This highly regarded development of 76 apartments offers residents the freedom to enjoy their independence, whilst having excellent facilities, social opportunities and additional support available if ever required.
Flat 74 enjoys a particularly desirable position within the development, benefitting from a quiet sunny south-facing corner aspect with lovely views overlooking the communal gardens. Accessed via lift to the second floor, the apartment is approached through a bright and spacious corridor leading to the front door.
The entrance hallway provides three generous storage cupboards along with a separate cloakroom WC and wash basin. The spacious double bedroom features a built-in wardrobe alongside full-height glazed doors opening directly onto the balcony, flooding the room with natural light. A beautifully presented en-suite wet room includes a shower, WC and wash basin.
The living and dining area is bright and spacious with double aspect windows and direct access onto the balcony, creating an airy feel throughout whilst making the most of the attractive garden outlook. The kitchen sits directly off the living area and is exceptionally well equipped with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, eye-level double oven, separate electric hob, fridge freezer and generous cupboard space including a floor-to-ceiling pull-out storage unit.
Abbeyfield offers an outstanding range of facilities and services tailored towards secure, comfortable and sociable living. Residents can participate in as much or as little as they wish, with a welcoming community atmosphere throughout. Facilities include:
- Resident gym.
- Hairdresser and beautician on site.
- Private cinema hosting film nights, jazz club events and communal sports screenings.
