Apartment 15, Goodrich Court, Ross-on-Wye
A Wonderful Opportunity to Enjoy Independent Retirement Living in One of Ross-on-Wye’s Most Popular Developments
An exceptionally well-positioned ground floor apartment within the highly regarded Goodrich Court retirement development, offering the perfect balance of independence, security and community living.
Constructed by McCarthy & Stone and exclusively designed for the over-55s, Goodrich Court has earned an excellent reputation locally for providing a warm, welcoming environment where residents can continue to enjoy an active and independent lifestyle, whilst having the reassurance that help and support are close at hand whenever required.
The apartment enjoys one of the most convenient positions within the development, situated close to the main entrance, residents’ lounge, laundry facilities, Development Manager’s office and communal parking. It also benefits from direct access from the living room onto its own private patio area, providing an attractive space to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
What makes Goodrich Court particularly special is the genuine sense of community. Residents regularly come together to enjoy coffee mornings, social gatherings and organised activities in the comfortable communal lounge, creating an environment where friendships naturally flourish whilst allowing everyone to maintain as much privacy and independence as they wish.
For families, the development provides considerable peace of mind. The building benefits from a monitored emergency call system together with the reassuring presence of an on-site Development Manager, ensuring assistance is readily available should it ever be needed. Equally important, the development is owned and managed by its own Right to Manage (RTM) company, giving residents a genuine voice in how the building is maintained and operated. Residents who wish to become involved can do so easily through the Development Manager.
Internally, the apartment offers spacious and thoughtfully designed accommodation comprising a generous entrance hall, an excellent-sized living room with direct patio access, a fitted kitchen, a large double bedroom with fitted storage and a practical wet room, all designed with ease of living firmly in mind.
For visiting family and friends, Goodrich Court also benefits from a guest suite available to book at a modest nightly charge, making overnight visits simple and convenient without compromising the apartment’s spacious layout.
The location is another outstanding feature. Goodrich Court occupies a quiet position just approximately 200 metres from the very heart of Ross-on-Wye, allowing residents to enjoy an almost level walk into the town centre. Independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, churches, medical facilities and many other everyday amenities are all within easy reach, while a bus stop immediately outside the development provides regular services to Hereford, Gloucester and Monmouth.
Visitor parking is available both within the development and on the neighbouring road, making visits from family and friends straightforward.
Ross-on-Wye itself is one of Herefordshire’s most desirable market towns, sitting within the beautiful Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With its historic streets, riverside walks, independent shops, cafés and vibrant community, it provides an exceptional setting in which to enjoy retirement.
Apartment 15 represents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking the reassurance of a managed retirement development without sacrificing the independence of their own home. It offers safety, companionship, convenience and comfort in equal measure and is perfectly suited to those looking to enjoy retirement with confidence.
