Swan Road, Pewsey, SN9

A two-bedroom cottage with patio garden and garage, overlooking landscaped gardens and woodland, within walking distance of local shops. 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.

Manor Court was the first English Courtyard Association development and set a standard unseen before in this country for comfortable retirement living. The design was influenced by the beautiful Elizabethan almshouses of nearby Froxfield, and built with warm red brick, clay tile and stone-mullioned windows. The properties surround three sides of a beautiful courtyard garden with lawns, flower beds and magnificent herbaceous borders. A stream, part of the river Avon, runs along the length of its delightful woodland. 

It is just a short walk to the shops, which include two supermarkets, excellent pubs, bistros, cafés and a bank, as well as a swimming and sports centre. Pewsey's famous feast and carnival, a village tradition since 1898, is thought to be one of the oldest in Wiltshire. The Pewsey white horse hill figure is located on a steep slope of Pewsey Hill about a mile south of the village, with the Kennet and Avon Canal running to the north. Marlborough, Hungerford and Devizes are all nearby to provide further shopping, cultural and sporting facilities.

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 available to provide support and a helping hand when needed.  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 1979). No ground rent.
