A two bedroom first floor apartment. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

Until the arrival of the railway in 1905, Ickenham was a remote rural village with a population of little more than 300 people. Today it is a thriving London suburb in Hillingdon. Church Place however, built in the former paddock and farmyard of Home Farm, retains much of the serenity of its past, like the nearby ornate village pump and pond. The estate has cottages and apartments around two charming garden courtyards and a large timbered barn restored for social events.

Ickenham has a wide range of shops and other facilities and is served by the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, making it ideal for pensioners who may travel into London free of charge. Despite its London location, it is a lively village at heart, with an annual community festival, rugby and cricket clubs and a wealth of societies. Ruislip Golf Club is a few minutes away by car, as is Bayhurst Wood Country Park with its abundance of birds and wildflowers. The estate is very well-placed for travel by road, rail and air.

Cognatum Estates maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are on hand to provide support and help when needed and make this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property.  

There is a laundry facility on site and a guest suite provides comfortable accommodation for family and friends.

The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties. There are no restrictions on owning a property except that one resident must be over 55 years of age.

150 year lease (from 1994). No ground rent.

Please Note: Upon resale of the property, Cognatum Estates management company charge £500 plus VAT for the leasehold pack, payable by the vendor.
