Description



Constructed in the late 1980s Merrievale Court is an imaginatively designed complex of 21 properties arranged over three floors. It is designed to cater for the active retired and is available to buyers over the age of 60 years. A resident manager ensures the smooth running of The Court and is available to assist with queries or problems and help in the event of illness or emergencies. The apartment has an alarm system which allows two way contact between the residents and the manager. In the manager's absence the alarm is linked by telephone to a local authority centre or control providing cover every day of the year. The building also has a lift, wheelchair access, a shared resident's lounge (with kitchen and toilet facilities), a laundry room (fitted with washing machines and tumble driers) and a guest's suite for overnight visitors.
