The apartment block is a landmark at the base of Le Cannet, or the top of the suburb known as Oxford. It is a prestige property with high security and a guardian round the clock. The lovely gardens are extensive and immaculately maintained. There are two all weather, floodlit tennis courts in the grounds and a fabulous swimming pool with a large shallow separate paddling pool. It is all serviced during the months between Easter and October, with umbrellas, sun beds and mattresses, and a lifeguard. Just outside the complex and accessible through a pedestrian gate to which residents have a key is a small shopping centre with a bakery, a newsagent, hairdresser, pharmacy and one or two other shops. The lovely old town of Le Cannet with its shops and restaurants is a good walk, or a short drive away, and the centre of Cannes is five minutes away by car or bus. The bus stop is right outside the front gates. The views from the higher floors (2 and above) is of the rooftops and the Bay of Cannes. The first floor apartment is too low to see the sea, looking as it does at the cedar trees and lovely gardens. We have already bought an apartment in the building for an investor, and carried out a major renovation in it. The owner of the 3rd floor apartment has had it for about two years now, and although he plans to enjoy it with his family in the future he has put it on long term (furnished) lease for the time being, and earns 2 500€ from it each month, comfortably covering his mortgage. This first floor apartment is composed of an entrance hall, a large living room, an equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms, and everything opens onto lovely terraces as the apartment is on the end of the building so has the advantage of a wrap-around, which the majority of apartments do not have. It therefore has 37 m² of terrace which is huge. The main section off the front bedroom and living room looks south, and the wrap-around section onto which the kitchen opens looks north. The second bedroom has its own small balcony looking north into the trees and gardens. In the basement are garages and cellars and this apartment comes with one of each. It is very quiet. The buyer will probably want to give the apartment a facelift and a coat of paint, because although it is extremely comfortable it has been in the same family since the building was constructed. I think it deserves a new lease of life.
