Downsizing is upsizing at Piermont House
Shanly Homes highlights: according to Rightmove, downsizing is the main reason for UK buyers to move house in 9 out of 10 regions in England and Wales, with 40% of buyers looking to buy a smaller home.
Perfect for this market, the nine exclusive two and three bedroom apartments and duplexes at Piermont House in Beckenham, Kent by Shanly Homes offer all the benefits of downsizing to a new home, including equity release, less maintenance and lower energy bills. Due to their central location, spacious design, external living space and high specification they also ensure buyers are upsizing their lives to ensure an exciting fresh new start.
Karen Tibbs, Head of Sales and Marketing at Shanly Homes comments: “Downsizing offers homeowners the opportunity to release money to fund holidays and trips abroad or assist children with buying their own home. Many also take advantage of de-cluttering their lifestyle and getting rid of unwanted household items, leaving them feeling they ‘should have done it sooner’ once they have made the often emotive decision to move.”
Piermont House offers ideal apartments for downsizers with spacious rooms, wide entrance halls and stunning fully fitted kitchens to ensure couples have plenty of independent space during retirement. Each property also has a patio, balcony or roof terrace to enjoy the outdoors and even some gardening if desired. In addition, the three duplex apartments have a spiral staircase leading to a study and private roof terrace, which could be used as a hobbies room, guest bedroom or playroom for the grandchildren.
The apartments have been stylishly designed with fully fitted kitchens complete with stone work tops and integrated appliances including a wine cooler. All bedrooms include fitted wardrobes to ensure plenty of storage space and the spacious master bedroom enjoys en-suite facilities, many of which include a separate bath and shower. There is also an additional family bathroom.
Each property has an audio visual entry system, as well as wiring for a security alarm. There are allocated parking spaces, carports, and cycle storage is set behind electric entrance gates.
