Make the most of your retirement in Wilton

If you’re over 55 and looking for somewhere special to make the most of your ‘leisure years,’ you couldn’t do better than the final cottage at Archstone Lifestyle Homes’ Florence Court in Wilton.

There’s always a reason why new homes sell as well as they have done at Florence Court – and it’s usually location, location, location! Tucked away just off West Street, close to the beautiful Italianate church of St Nicholas and St Mary, Florence Court really does enjoy a convenient location but it offers so much more as well!

At this peaceful gated development, just a few minutes’ away from the local shops, you’ll find a lovely landscaped setting. The communal courtyard with its pretty water feature, ornamental tree, wooden seating and low level lighting is the ideal place to socialise with neighbours or just sit in the sun. You’ll soon discover that allocated parking has been created in car barns. Look more closely and you’ll notice that each cottage and the ground floor apartments have delightful, sheltered, patio-style gardens which incorporate low maintenance decking and shingle, flower beds and a small tool shed.

Externally, the final cottage, like all the new homes at Florence Court has plenty of ‘kerb appeal,’ featuring a combination of cream render, warm red brickwork and decorative flint bands. The timber country-style doors and casement windows are painted in a rich cream that complements the colour of the render.

Internally, it’s immediately apparent that Archstone’s designers have an excellent eye for detail and a commitment to the creation of flexible living space.

The living room, at the front of the house, has an attractive bay window and double doors leading to the dining room. The kitchen opens onto the dining room and this space is perfect for entertaining, with doors leading onto the patio and the garden beyond. There’s a cloakroom just off the dining room with a separate shower/wet area – so the dining room could be used as a third en-suite bedroom by anyone who wasn’t able to cope with the stairs for any reason.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with double fitted wardrobes and a useful study, which could accommodate a grandchild. The main bathroom has doors leading to the master bedroom and onto the landing – so it can be used as an en-suite to the principal bedroom. With an estate management service handling the maintenance of the development, it’s easier to relax and make the most of the new lifestyle on offer. Offered at just £345,000, this ‘Nightingale’ cottage offers outstanding value for money.

For those who prefer single-storey living, Archstone’s sales team has already started marketing the beautiful apartments at Florence Court, including a lovely duplex apartment and a beautiful penthouse. The apartments are priced from £240,000, the duplex is just £295,000 and the penthouse is £305,000.

You don’t have to be over the age of 55 to live at Florence Mews; a collection of lovely cottages created on the approach to the gated Florence Court. These delightful three-bedroom cottages start from just £299,950.
