Description

Situated in the heart of the charming market town of Old Beaconsfield, this two bedroom terrace cottage is set within an exclusive development for the over 60s. This lovely home enjoys its own private patio, overlooking the beautiful communal gardens in addition to an allocated parking space. St. Mary's Court is ideal for those looking for a peaceful retirement in a picturesque, well-connected location.

On the ground floor the front door opens into the reception hall, with stairs to the first floor and a guest cloakroom with useful built-in storage.
