This One Bedroom First Floor Apartment boasts a refitted Kitchen, with 'Calacatta' white marble effect worktops topping beautiful high gloss white units giving a bright modern look, a refitted Shower Room and it also enjoys a perhaps brighter than normal aspect, as it is nearly due South facing - sunlight streaming into the Kitchen and Lounge/Diner (sofas/chairs up the near end, little dining table under the window at the far end would be a nice layout).
The bedroom has built-in wardrobes and the Bathroom has been refitted as a Shower Room, complete with a large low profile walk-in Shower and a 'Combination Unit' for the basin and WC which incorporates drawers and cupboards - great for neat and tidy uncluttered storage. There's also a hand full height storage cupboard in the Hall too.
The walls have been freshly painted and there is all brand new carpets too.
Another nice feature is that the flat is at the end of its 'own' corridor, so a bit out-on-its-own s -to speak - nice and private.
Sawyers Court itself is a popular retirement development exclusively for the over 60s, located in the heart of Shenfield. The complex enjoys a warm community feel with weekly social events, a communal lounge available for private bookings, and a delightful communal garden. One of the other residents mentioned that she felt very safe here, which we thought a reassuring statement.
Residents benefit from a guest suite for visitors, a laundry room with sensible allocated usage times, and practical storage cupboards throughout the building. The block manager is on site from 8am - 1:30pm, providing daily 'check-ins' to all residents and there is a 24-hour 'Tunstall' careline system which offers complete peace of mind.
A non-allocated permit parking is provided to each resident, with road parking also available on Mondays - Saturdays (restrictions apply) and Sundays all day.
The development sits just 0.3 miles from Shenfield's bustling high street and Railway Station, with direct bus links to Brentwood also within walking distance.

Brentwood's name is derived from ‘Burnt Wood' (Brent being middle English for burnt), referring to a large clearing created following a fire, probably from Charcoal burning (the main occupation back then) in the dense forests that once covered this part of Essex.
Over time, it became a stopping point for pilgrims travelling to Canterbury and the remains of a 12th Century chapel in Brentwood High Street bear testimony to this.
When Henry III granted a royal charter to hold markets, the market town of Brentwood boomed, growing and evolving into the 'well-to-do' town you see today, surrounded by beautiful countryside and historic villages.
Brentwood is situated to the south -west of Essex, just east of London and falling within the Metropolitan Green Belt.
This closeness to London means that the town has excellent road and rail networks, with the town only separated from Greater London by a narrow gap of open land, through which passes the M25 Motorway.
Brentwood Railway Station is on the London Liverpool Street line, which whisks you to central London in 33 minutes, on the fastest trains.
The adjacent A12 runs between Central London and East Anglia, and the A127 links Central London to Southend.
Brentwood is enhanced by many green spaces, less than 20% of the Borough is built-up. There are a number of important green spaces reaching into the built-up area, two of which extend right to the centre of the town - Hartswood/Shenfield Common and the extensive playing fields of Brentwood School, the former Anglia Polytechnic University, with 'Thriftwood' also an extensive area of woodland set within the town.
The busy High Street has an abundance of shops, restaurants and bars, with more located down the charming cobblestoned lanes off the high street too. There are some 200 stores including the usual big-name retailers and unique independent boutiques, some within The Baytree Shopping Centre which includes a cafe and fitness centre on the second floor. Brentwood Market is held every Friday and Saturday too.
The town centre has an active Nightlife Scene with the many bars, pubs and clubs making Friday and Saturday Nights a lively affair. Perhaps check out the Sugarhut, which really the links the old with the new, being one of the oldest buildings in the town, a 15th century coaching Inn, now a huge acclaimed Nightclub.
If education is a high priority, there are many excellent schools, the Secondary schools including Brentwood County High School, Brentwood School, Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School (RC, girls), St Martin's School and Becket Keys Church of England School.
Primary education is provided by a mixture of state schools, Church of England and Catholic schools and independent prep schools.
As well as being known for the TOWIE TV series, the town has also been home to many a famous person including Frank Bruno, Snooker player Steve Davis, F1 winner Johnny Herbert, Actor Ross Kemp, Singer Pixie Lott, Singer Louise Redknapp and even The Stig!
