Superb one bedroom apartment with a Juliet balcony on the first floor within a prestigious retirement development located within the Craigiebuckler area of Aberdeen
Summary - Beeches Gate was built by McCarthy & Stone and has been designed and constructed for modern retirement living. The development consists of 44 one and two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 60s. The dedicated House Manager is on site during working hours and will make you feel at home. There's no need to worry about the burden of maintenance costs as the service charge covers the cost of all external maintenance, gardening and landscaping, external window cleaning, buildings insurance and security systems. All energy costs of the homeowners lounge and other communal areas are also covered in the service charge. For your peace of mind the development has camera door entry and 24-hour emergency call system and pendants provided, should you require assistance. The beautiful residents' lounge with kitchen facility provides a great space to socialise with friends and a great opportunity to get to know your neighbours and enjoy the social aspect of independent living. There is also a large sun room with balcony and seating to take advantage of the sunshine and can be found on the fourth floor. If your guests have traveled from afar they can extend their stay by booking into the development Guest Suite (for a fee subject to availability). It is a condition of purchase that residents must meet the age requirement of 60 years or over, in an event of a couple the second person must be over the age of 55 years.
Local Area - The development is situated in Craigiebuckler, a charming residential suburb located around two miles, west end of the city centre. The area is popular with families and is characterised by its pleasant tree lined streets, open space and parkland. In particular, Hazelhead Park nearby is a popular attraction of the area, with 180 hectacres of wooded parkland, perfect for walkers. Johnstone Gardens is a delightful small park with ponds and water features, which is very close to the development and a very short walk away. There are also two golf courses, pitch and putt, football fields, rose gardens with a maze and cafe. The local area is home to a variety of shops and facilities including a library, post office, convenience store, health club and hair and beauty salon. There is a bus stop into the city just outside the development, giving easy public transport access to the local medical centre, to the city centre and also to the beach, which has a shopping centre and several cafes and restaurants.
