**Introduction**
Situated on the first floor, this is a very well presented one bedroom
apartment with an outlook over the landscaped communal gardens and a lift
service providing access to the excellent facilities of this ever - popular
development. A good - sized living room has a focal point fireplace, there is an
excellent fitted kitchen with a significant range of integrated appliances, a
double bedroom with mirror fronted wardrobe and a wet room with a level access
shower and the additional benefit of a bath.
Thomas Court was constructed in late summer of 2013 by multi - award winning
McCarthy Stone, and remains one of our most sought - after developments. This is
a ‘Retirement Living Plus’ development offering 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 who oversees the smooth running of the development. The
property enjoys excellent communal facilities including a Homeowners' lounge,
restaurant with a fantastic, varied daily table - service lunch, laundry room,
scooter store and landscaped gardens. Homeowners also benefit from one hour of
domestic assistance each week and there are extensive domestic and care
packages available to suit individual needs and budgets, if required.
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 per night applies.
It’s so easy to make new friends and to lead a busy and fulfilled life at
Thomas Court - there are always plenty of regular activities to choose from
including a choir, art group, fitness classes, coffee mornings, games and quiz
nights, themed events and occasional organised trips. Whilst there is
something for everyone there is certainly no obligation to participate and
home owners ‘dip in and out’ of activities or quite naturally, remain as
private as they wish.
The development is in an excellent position within a level walk of extensive
amenities; shops, bars and restaurants, Doctors, Library, Roath Park and bus
routes are all close at hand.
