Full Description

Description:

Homecourt House is a sought after retirement development situated in one of Exeter’s most historic and attractive parts of the city, close to the Mint and St. Nicholas’ Priory.  All the apartments are served by a lift and you are just two to three minutes easy walking distance from the city centre.  This development is extremely secure and there is the added piece of mind knowing that the daytime house manager service is provided.  This particular apartment is situated on the second floor and can be reached by a common staircase or lift. 

Homecourt House is a highly respected retirement development which affords the residents some very useful and convenient communal facilities including attractive and well maintained grounds, a laundrette and residents lounge.  There is some parking available for residents and also some parking for visitors.  We understand from the management that small pets may be permitted by arrangement and that there is a lease of 97 years from 1983.  We also understand that the charges amount to approximately £831.81 per half year (paid 1/03/10 – 20/08/10) and the ground rent is £174.57 per half year, however we would recommend anyone interested in buying this property that they make their own enquiries for precise costs, terms and conditions as the Agents have not been able to see the Lease. 

The cathedral city of Exeter offers a magnificent array of shopping facilities ranging from major department stores to specialised boutiques, plus countless bars and restaurants not to mention cinemas, theatres, recreational activities and a thriving nightlife. Of late, the city has experienced considerable economic growth, assisted by the relocation of the Met Office and other major companies. The area also benefits considerably from the new city centre, retail and commercial developments in Princesshay and the proposed expansion of Exeter’s international airport which will enhance communication links even further. The airport lies just 5 miles east of the city centre and is recognised as an important gateway offering numerous European flights, trans-Atlantic connections and holiday charter flights.

For outdoor enthusiasts there are miles of beach coastline and 365 square miles of Dartmoor National Park within approximately 30 minutes by car.

There are excellent rail and road links including the main line services to London (Paddington & Waterloo), the Midlands and the North of England plus the nearby M5 Motorway together with the A30 and A38 provide excellent communication links to the East and North as well as Devon and the neighbouring counties of Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.
