There comes a stage in life when a home should become easier to live in, not harder to manage.

This lovely ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement unit at Summerhill Lodge in Scottburgh offers exactly that: comfortable independent living within an established, caring community, with an exceptional range of everyday services already taken care of.

And importantly, this particular unit includes a single garage – a significant advantage within the complex, where many residents rely on covered carports instead.

The home has been thoughtfully improved, retiled throughout and fitted with air-conditioning and ceiling fans to create a comfortable coastal home that is practical, neat and ready to enjoy.

A COMFORTABLE HOME SURROUNDED BY GARDENS

The open-plan lounge and dining area leads out towards a covered patio and the beautifully maintained communal gardens.

There is a wonderful sense of greenery around the property, and the ground-floor position means there are no stairs to negotiate as part of everyday living.

The lounge is air-conditioned, making the living area comfortable during Scottburgh's warmer months.

The kitchen offers granite countertops, good cupboard space, a two-plate hob, countertop oven and space for a single-door refrigerator.

Both bedrooms are tiled and fitted with built-in cupboards.

The main bedroom overlooks the attractive terraced gardens and offers both an air-conditioner and ceiling fan, while the second bedroom enjoys generous windows and good natural light.

The bathroom includes a shower, basin and toilet, together with plumbing for a washing machine.

ONE MONTHLY LEVY - WITH SO MUCH ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF

One of the greatest benefits of living at Summerhill Lodge is the extent of the services available to residents.

The current levy is approximately R5,700 per month, but it is important to understand just how much is incorporated into that monthly cost.

Services and benefits include:

• Water and electricity
• WiFi / internet
• Regular unit cleaning
• Linen and laundry services
• Garden maintenance
• Maintenance of the beautifully established communal areas
• Security and controlled access
• Access to the communal facilities and resident lifestyle

For someone wanting to simplify their retirement, this can remove a remarkable amount of everyday administration and household responsibility.

Rather than independently arranging cleaners, connectivity, gardening and a range of other household services, much of it is already managed within the complex.

INDEPENDENT LIVING - WITH HELP CLOSE BY

Summerhill Lodge offers something particularly reassuring for both retirees and their families: independence today, with additional support available should circumstances change in the future.

The complex has an excellent medical and assisted-care facility, supported by friendly, positive and caring nursing staff.

This creates the opportunity for residents to continue living independently while knowing that additional care is close at hand if it is ever needed.

For families helping an elderly parent choose a home, that continuity can be enormously reassuring.

MEALS WHEN YOU WANT THEM

Residents are not required to give up the independence of cooking in their own homes.

However, meals can also be booked and enjoyed in the communal dining room when preferred.

It is a lovely option on days when you simply don't feel like cooking, and it creates another natural opportunity to spend time with other residents.

MORE THAN A COMPLEX – A COMMUNITY

Summerhill Lodge has developed a genuinely warm retirement community.

Residents can enjoy the communal lounge and library, television area, swimming pool and organised social activities, including favourites such as bingo.

There is also a minibus service available for residents who prefer assistance with transport.

The gardens throughout Summerhill Lodge are beautifully maintained and contribute enormously to the peaceful atmosphere of the development.

This is not simply somewhere to live.

It is a place where residents can retain their independence while enjoying security, companionship and the reassurance of support close by.

A RETIREMENT HOME THAT MAKES LIFE EASIER

For the right buyer, the real appeal of this property is not simply its two bedrooms, pleasant gardens or garage.

It is the ability to live independently while knowing that so much of everyday life has already been organised for you.

It could also be an excellent solution for families looking for a comfortable Scottburgh home for a parent who is still independent today but may appreciate having additional support available in the years ahead.
