The Giles Gate development consists of 41 flats in three separate blocks arranged around well-tended, mature gardens. First floor flats tend to be a little larger than the ground floor versions and number 1 is a unique, and larger, design than the majority.
The entrance to number 1 is most conveniently positioned for the shops and local amenities. The front door opens into a small entrance hall with a recently installed stairlift giving easy access to the first floor.
The second bedroom is straight ahead and overlooking the communal gardens. The sitting room is adjacent with a similar view from the windows, and window-seat. The sitting room is well proportioned and lends itself to a variety of furniture-placement combinations. A door in the corner of the sitting room leads into the kitchen which has been refitted with a range of clean, white units and dark worksurfaces with an integrated fan oven, hob and extractor. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine and a slimline dishwasher plus space for a tall fridge-freezer. The kitchen window looks out on the side of the development.
The bathroom has been refitted with a large, walk-in shower, vanity unit and W.C. The square, white, wall tiles mean the bathroom is light and bright.
The main bedroom is a good size and is rear-facing with built in wardrobes.
Residents at Giles Gate benefit from the presence of an on-site house manager who works 9-5 during the week and who is available to help residents with day to day matters, (but not any personal care).
There is a communal lounge and conservatory where residents meet for informal gatherings and some organised activities. In the summer, residents gather on the patio, under the sunshade.
There is ample, unallocated parking on the development available for both residents and visitors.
Location
Giles Gate is centrally located in Prestwood village, opposite a Sainsburys convenience store. The parade of shops caters to most immediate needs with an optician, dry cleaners, butcher, hairdresser, post office and chemist. There are also a couple of take-aways and the Chequers Tree pub. There are two doctors' surgeries a short distance from the main shopping area and a larger Co-Op food store. Nearby Great Missenden also offers a main rail link into Central London as well as cafes, boutiques and restaurants. For more extensive requirements both High Wycombe and Amersham are approximately 4/5 miles from Prestwood. There is a bus-stop outside Giles Gate.
