Alan Percival Court stands back from the road in a convenient spot just off
the High Street in Chesterton, close to the post office and near a wide range
of local amenities and facilities including a variety of shops. There is a
regular bus service to the city centre which is a little over a mile away and
the River Cam is nearby. There are riverside walks and a footbridge over to
Stourbridge Common. Alan Percival Court is a two storey scheme of 16
retirement flats which were built some 20 years ago by King Street Housing
Association. Occupation is restricted to those aged 55 years and over.
Number 5 is situated in one of the best positions as it is on the ground floor
at the rear of the block and on the southern corner. The rooms are light and
sunny, the living room and bedroom face south east and the kitchen which faces
south west is one of only a few in the block to have a window. The sliding
patio doors open from the living room out into the communal garden and has an
external electrically operated sun blind and there are internal security
blinds. The flat is equipped with economy 7 heating and double glazing. The
communal gardens are well kept and there is a small residents parking area.
The Peabody Trust has retained 30% of the equity of each flat and the
purchaser will therefore buy a 70% share.
Any interested purchaser will need to fill in an application for for the
Peabody Trust - we can forward this on request.
