Downsize in style at Cobbett Place, Farnham
Those looking to downsize in the Farnham area will have to act fast, as just one 2 bedroom apartment now remains at Millgate Homes’ desirable Cobbett Place.
While prospective purchasers will get a flavour for the lifestyle they could enjoy here from the stunning Show Home, with its elegant colour scheme of muted shades of grey and duck egg blue, the remaining apartment, plot 5, has its own unique charm.
Rather than the open-plan reception area illustrated by the Show Home, this apartment in Farnham features a separate kitchen while the reception room provides, in addition to plenty of space for both relaxing and dining, direct access to the communal gardens via French doors and its own private patio. The accommodation is completed by two double bedrooms, both featuring built in wardrobes, with the master benefiting from en suite facilities and the second served by the main bathroom. With the rest of the 14 apartments already spoken for, many purchasers have now moved in and are reaping the benefits of their new lifestyle, including Janet Pattenden, who says:
“As a recent divorcee, I was looking to move out of a large home in the New Forest and into a new one in the Farnham area. Whilst I had decided new build would be a good option, I was really thinking of a small house rather than an apartment. After months of searching and not finding anything that gave me the ‘feel’ I was looking for, the details of Cobbett Place arrived on my doormat and I decided to pop in and have a look the next time I was passing, mainly out of curiosity.
“As soon as I walked into the Show Home I knew my search was over – it offered exactly what I’d been searching for in terms of the size of the rooms, style and finish and the whole development had a really lovely, homely feel. Since I’ve moved in, I’ve settled into life in my new home really quickly and it’s exactly how I imagined – I feel very safe, secure and comfortable and have a beautiful new apartment in which to make a fresh start.”
The remaining apartment in Farnham, naturally, finished to Millgate Homes’ award-winning specification and has been designed to offer plenty of useful storage. The kitchen comes complete with an impressive range of Siemens appliances that include a multi-function oven, extractor hood, microwave oven, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher; so that purchasers don’t even have to worry about moving the white goods in.
And an apartment at Cobbett Place doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on outdoor space - the beautiful communal grounds, landscaped by a Chelsea gold medal award-winning landscaper, include a refurbished summer house and a lovely ‘garden house’. With the remaining plot featuring its own private patio, lucky purchasers will be able to enjoy dining alfresco during the summer months and use the space to create their own ‘mini garden’.
Add the location, with Farnham town centre and its range of boutique shops, coffee houses and eateries less than 1 mile1 distant, Farnham train station - which offers direct services to London Waterloo in under an hour2 - within half a mile3 and Heathrow Airport less than 25 miles3 away, and it’s easy to see why so many of the homes here have already been snapped up.
The remaining apartment in Farnham is on the market for £380,000 and the Show Home is open daily from 10am - 4pm. For further information visit: millgatehomes.co.uk
