A very well presented, dual aspect, two bedroom retirement apartment situated on the first floor of this popular, welcoming development, with a wrap around balcony offering lovely views.
Introduction:
This large two bedroom apartment at Ellisfields Court has to occupy one of the most desirable positions within the development; located in private corner position on the first floor, the apartment is quietly tucked away with little passing footfall, yet conveniently positioned to the lift service to all other floors. With an excellent 'wrap-around' balcony overlooking open ground and a bright dual-aspect Sitting Room the apartment has much to offer. The apartment is very well-presented and in addition to the Sitting Room offers very spacious accommodation with a well fitted kitchen complete with integrated appliances, cloakroom, super principle bedroom with walk in wardrobe, second double bedroom and a modern bathroom.
Constructed in mid-2014 by renowned, award-winning developers McCarthy Stone, Ellisfields Court consistently continues to be one our most sought-after developments and it is not difficult to understand why; a quiet backwater location yet within short easy access to the town centre. Beautiful landscaped gardens with pond that back directly onto Taunton Dean Cricket ground with Vivary Park next door. This is a ‘retirement living plus’ development providing a lifestyle living opportunity for the over 70’s and designed specifically for independent living with the peace-of-mind provided by the day-to-day support of our excellent staff and Estate Manager overseeing the smooth running of the development.
The development enjoys excellent communal facilities including a home owner’s lounge, restaurant with a fantastic, varied daily table-service lunch, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens, along with a roof terrace. There is direct access from the development leading to Vivary Park serving as a short cut to town.
Ellisfields Court is a vibrant development with plenty of regular activities and ample opportunity to 'get involved’, socialise and make new friends. Equally however, there is, of course, no obligation to participate and Home owners can remain as private as they wish.
Homeowners benefit from one hour of domestic assistance each week and there are extensive domestic and care packages available to suit individual needs and budgets. All apartments are equipped with a 24-hour emergency call facility and sophisticated intercom system providing both a visual and verbal link to the main development entrance. There is also the excellent guest suite widely used by visiting family and friends for which a small charge of £25 per night applies.

Cloakroom:
Comprising modern white WC and corner wash-basin, wall cupboard, half tiled walls and vinyl flooring.
Sitting/Dining Room:
A fantastic dual aspect room provides much natural light to this lovely room. Two attractive Pine (inner-framed) triple-glazed French doors open onto a good-sized 'wrap-around' balcony with a very pleasant aspect. Feature glazed panelled double doors lead to the kitchen.
