This charming two-bedroom first-floor apartment is nestled in the former stables of a 17th-century country house, now converted into a retirement development for those 55 and older. The property is part of Walpole Court, a beautiful complex surrounded by a garden courtyard, with a short walk to the nearby town of Puddletown, which boasts a range of amenities, including a pub, post office, and library. The town has strong links to author Thomas Hardy, and the surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. The development offers a range of services, including maintenance, repairs, and insurance of the buildings, as well as personal alarm systems and resident estate managers to provide support. The apartment also comes with a 150-year lease, with no ground rent, and a shared cost for the services provided. With its unique history and convenient location, this apartment is an ideal "lock up and leave" property for those looking to enjoy a peaceful retirement.
