Castle Gardens in Watlington has caught the attention of the judges in the prestigious Housebuilder Awards 2024 in the ‘Best Retirement Development’ category. The over 55s development is one of just five finalists but the Beechcroft team will have to wait until the glittering awards ceremony is held at London’s Intercontinental Hotel at the O2 at the end of October to discover the winner.
Comprising just 41 elegant new homes, Castle Gardens enjoys a beautifully landscaped and fully maintained setting just off Shirburn Road, less than half-a-mile from Watlington High Street.
Each newly built house or apartment is energy efficient, easily maintained and features a terrace, balcony, private garden or a combination of these along with allocated parking. These homes are also designed, built and finished to Beechcroft’s rigorous Healthihouse™ standards with a range of high-quality fixtures that promote a healthy home environment.
There’s already a strong sense of community at the development, where homeowners are able to socialise in the comfortable residents’ pavilion and, with an Estate Manager on site, it’s easy to relax in to retirement or to ‘lock up and leave.’ The development also has a shuttle bus service which is available for shopping trips or visits to local towns.
Currently, a two-bedroom apartment is on sale at Castle Gardens priced at £560,000, this two-bedroom apartment on the first floor provides generously proportioned rooms and light, airy, living space. The large dining/hall at the heart of the apartment could accommodate a large dining table or would be equally suitable as a second reception room or study.
The dual aspect drawing room opens onto a private balcony which will be the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or to relax with the papers or a good book on a warm afternoon. There’s a stylish kitchen featuring a full complement of integrated appliances. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and the master bedroom has its own en-suite shower room which, like the main bathroom, comes complete with vanity unit and fitted mirrors.
Beechcroft has been granted planning permission for a further 25 new homes at Castle Gardens. These will be created within four two-storey buildings set around a landscaped communal garden. Each apartment will provide a terrace, balcony or private garden and allocated parking. For further information on Castle Gardens, please contact the Beechcroft team on 01491 743018.
