A beautifully presented and thoughtfully upgraded two-bedroom retirement apartment, forming part of the highly regarded Pembroke Court development, an established and exceptionally well-managed community designed exclusively for the over fifty-fives in the centre of Wilton.

Occupying a desirable first floor position, the apartment enjoys superb south-westerly views towards the striking Italianate church and offers bright, spacious and immaculately maintained accommodation throughout.

The apartment is accessed via both lift and staircase from the secure communal entrance hall. Internally, the accommodation is light and airy, with well-balanced proportions and tasteful contemporary décor throughout. The apartment has been fully renovated to a high specification by the current owner including removal of night storage heating for installation of individually thermostatically controlled Rointe electric radiators in all rooms and a towel rail in the bathroom.

The private entrance hall provides access to all rooms and includes a useful shelved airing cupboard, entry phone system and emergency assistance system. There are emergency pull cords in each room.

The sitting room is a particularly attractive reception space, enjoying a lovely south-westerly aspect through a bay window overlooking the Italianate church. The room offers generous proportions with ample space for both sitting and dining furniture, creating a comfortable and sociable living environment.

The modern kitchen/breakfast room has been stylishly fitted with a range of Howdens contemporary wall, base units and drawers with adjoining work surfaces incorporating an integrated hob and oven. There is space for informal dining alongside excellent natural light, making the room both practical and inviting.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from large fitted wardrobes, with one bedroom also enjoying the attractive church views.

The recently refitted shower room has been finished to an excellent standard and comprises a generous walk-in shower with Mira electric shower, glass screen, easy-clean panels, vanity basin with storage cupboard and WC.

Ideally situated within easy reach of Wilton town centre, Pembroke Court offers an excellent range of communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, beautifully maintained courtyard garden with sitting area and residents’ parking with visitor spaces. There are communal gardens at the rear which extend alongside a tributary of the River Wylye and provide a tranquil setting for residents.

The development further benefits from an on-site manager, emergency assistance system throughout the apartment and guest accommodation available by prior arrangement. This all contributes to creating a secure, welcoming and friendly environment. Wilton is a charming and historic market town offering a range of day-to-day amenities including independent shops, cafés, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, library, community centre and a weekly market.

The Cathedral City of Salisbury lies approximately three miles away which can be accessed by a frequent bus service and provides a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, together with a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Waterloo.
