Two bedroom first floor retirement apartment in desirable gated development close to bus routes and railway station Sandalwood is an exclusive development of individual retirement apartments for over 65's, forming part of an attractive white rendered Grade II Listed property fronting Comberton Road, approximately 200 yards from Kidderminster railway station on one of the main routes into the town centre.

This elegant and well proportioned apartment has a splendid large bay window to the front and various other sash windows throughout, all of which feature sealed unit double glazed panels within the original timber frames.

The lounge measures a most impressive 19'9" in length (max) with a maximum width of almost 11'02"

There is open access to the well appointed kitchen featuring a range of beech effect wall and base cabinets with black granite work surfaces and a range of Bosch appliances to include ceramic hob, stainless steel electric cooker, canopy hood, fridge/freezer and slim line dishwasher. The work surface incorporating the sink unit is height adjustable.

The entrance hallway also gives way to two double bedrooms each with an en-suite shower room. Each bedroom has a good range of fitted furniture, the second bedroom presently used as a study with the ingenious benefit of a fold down bed for occasional use.
