Built on the site of the Octagon garage at the junction of
Silver Street, Ash Walk, George Street and Sambourne Road, Imber Court occupies a key position in the town and passers
by have been able to watch each stage of its building process.
Yesterday McCarthy & Stone, the developers who specialise in "Retirement Living", hosted a “Professionals
Lunch”. Guests included members of the Town Council, as well as local
traders and key members of the community.
Speaking after her tour of the apartments Warminster’s Mayor Cllr Sue Fraser
said, “I was surprised how spacious they are and this communal room is very
light and airy. I welcome the development for Warminster as it brings more people into the town centre.”
Its location right in the centre of town was remarked on by
several visitors as one of its attractions. Imber
Court has been developed specifically for the
retired and anybody interested in living there must be over 60. Bathrooms all have grab rails and kitchens have been designed with safety in mind. For the "senior citizen" one of the benefits of living in Imber Court is the security aspect - there's a CCTV
system, an intruder alarm, 24 hour emergency call and fire detection system.
The communal facilities include a laundry room, residents’
lounge and a guest room for visitors. A House
Manager is on site to help with the day to day practicalities and outside the building an area has been landscaped with
flower beds and a paved sitting area.
The apartments are
for sale as leasehold properties with an annual service charge. For more information ring 01985 215495.
