Retire In Style to Bluecoat Pond

A two double bedroom, mid terrace cottage with conservatory, garage and patio garden, on an exclusive retirement development for the over 55s.

This spacious property, which has a wonderful view of the Bluecoat Pond, has been undergoing renovation. The new, open plan kitchen diner has fully integrated white goods, including a wine cooler and an induction hob with Shaker style units in Antique White. The interior decor has been designed in conjunction with John Lewis and includes curtain poles, curtains and blinds (where fitted). All carpets and flooring are also included in the price.
Bluecoat Pond, situated on the former Christ’s Hospital School dairy site, takes its name from the long blue coats still worn by the students. The Victorian pond and water tower are the centrepiece of the estate’s spectacular courtyard, with the pretty brick properties surrounded by finely-landscaped gardens and grounds. Although it doesn’t officially hold village status, Christ’s Hospital has postal facilities, a chapel, a shop and a large railway station, all within easy walking distance of the estate. Christ’s Hospital School also offers a hugely varied programme of high-quality music and drama performances, held in their purpose-built theatre designed by the same architect responsible for London’s Young Vic. The town of Horsham is only a short drive away and still retains its old-world charm with a traffic-free centre, as well as an excellent range of shops, pubs and restaurants and an arts centre with a theatre and cinema. The local area offers many opportunities to enjoy the countryside and wildlife, with Warnham Nature Reserve, Horsham Park, Huxley's Birds of Prey Centre and Sumners Ponds all no further than seven miles from the estate.

Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing. They are responsible for maintaining, repairing and insuring all the buildings, arranging window cleaning and refuse collection and tending the gardens and grounds, thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are on hand to provide support and help when needed, making this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property.

The site has a laundry facility and a guest suite for family and friends. A minibus service is offered for shopping trips.

The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties. There are no restrictions on owning a property except that one resident must be over 55 years of age.

150 year lease (from 1997). No ground rent.
