Mytchett Heath, Camberley, GU16

A two-bedroom cottage overlooking landscaped gardens and woodlands, with patio and garage. The property is located on an award winning, 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. Mytchett Heath enjoys a rather idyllic setting in deepest Surrey, bordered by natural woodland on one side, the restored Basingstoke Canal on another and the 59 acres of Frimley Lodge Park on another. As it was once the grounds of a school whose head gardener had a passion for unusual and exotic trees, these specimens are now in their prime and, along with the lawns, heathers and rhododendrons, form the setting for the two delightful courtyards around which the properties are set. The local shops of the village of Mytchett are within easy walking distance of the estate and there is also a petrol station to help fuel your adventures further afield. The local towns of Camberley, Farnborough and Aldershot, which have always had strong military connections, provide excellent shopping and a variety of cultural events. In addition to the beautiful walks within the four acres of the estate's grounds, the nearby Basingstoke Canal Towpath Trail offers 33½ miles of waterside walks. There are also two golf courses and a bowling club within five miles. Cognatum Estates Limited maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are able to provide support and a helping hand when needed. The estate has two laundry rooms, two guest suites and a minibus for shopping trips. The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties.
