The accommodation includes a spacious sitting room, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and two shower rooms — practical, low-maintenance living arranged over multiple levels. An enclosed patio garden and garage add private outdoor space and secure parking.
The development is managed by a not-for-profit retirement housing provider, with an on-site estate manager, personal alarm systems and communal amenities including allotments, a croquet lawn, guest accommodation and a minibus service. Those seeking a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle will appreciate communal maintenance, grounds upkeep and arranged services that free owners from day-to-day chores.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 129 years remaining and a service charge of £7,640 per year, which covers buildings insurance, repairs and communal services. Council tax is described as quite expensive. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong, while the village setting offers easy access to shops, pubs, rail links to London and extensive walking routes along the North Downs.
Eylesden Court’s attractive green setting — orchard, village green and views towards oast-houses and Holy Cross Church — will suit active retirees who value community facilities, low-maintenance living and easy transport links. Buyers should budget for the above-average service charge and ongoing council tax when assessing running costs.
