This charming, first-floor apartment is set within the multifaceted Stocks Hall development, set close to the ever-popular village of Mawdesley and catering for the Over 55’s. Beautifully appointed, the accommodation comprises an open plan living-dining-kitchen, two double bedrooms – one fitted with a range of furniture – and a luxury, fully-tiled four-piece bathroom. Well-proportioned throughout, this privately owned apartment has been finished to an exemplary standard and is also benefits from first communal social areas, landscaped gardens, off road parking, plus the option to access additional care services from the celebrated nursing home within the building.
Constructed in 2015 and following the footprint of the former Mawdesley Eating House, each apartment is unique and individually designed. In line with the Stocks Hall ethos, the apartments have been planned to ensure maximum independence yet also extending the reassurance of a chosen level of care if favoured.
