1 bedroom retirement property

This lovely, spacious and modernised one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment is located in Glenallan Court which was built by McCarthy & Stone and is close to the centre of Dunblane and all its amenities.

Set amongst beautifully kept communal garden grounds, the apartment is accessed via a welcoming reception hallway from a shared security entrance which has recently been upgraded to enable all easy access. Each apartment has the use of a residents’ lounge, laundry facilities, elevator access to the upper floors, and there is private residents’ parking. A guest suite is available for family or friends to visit too.

A house manager is available on site, and for peace of mind, emergency alarm cords are provided in most rooms.

The building is managed by Trinity Factors Services for an annual fee which covers the manager’s services, emergency alarms, the use of communal laundry facilities, the upkeep of the common areas and landscaped gardens, and the buildings insurance. Residents must be at least 60 years old.

Internally, the apartment provides comfortable and easily managed accommodation which includes reception hall with cupboard storage, lounge with space for dining and a patio door giving private access to a small patio area and the grounds to the front of the property.

Lounge (5.2m x 3.4m)

The kitchen has been upgraded with a modern range of fitted cream wall and base units with coordinated laminate worktops.

All local services and amenities are readily accessible; while the more extensive facilities offered in Stirling are only a ten-minute drive to the south. The rail station which is just a short walk away provides excellent links to Perth, Stirling, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The beautiful and historic City of Dunblane gains its city status from the magnificent 13th century Cathedral that dominates the local landscape. Dunblane possesses good leisure facilities with a challenging eighteen-hole golf course, a swimming pool, numerous sports, and social clubs, including the local tennis club and excellent Dunblane Youth and Sports Centre. Andy Murray’s Cromlix House Hotel with its Chez Roux restaurant and Gleneagles Hotel and Spa are within an easy drive, not to mention The Kailyard by Nick Nairn at the DoubleTree Dunblane Hydro Hotel. The ever-growing High Street is home to the award-winning Tilly Tearoom, The Old Churches House Hotel and Brasserie and a selection of other excellent restaurants, bars, cafes, and independent retailers. With its easy access to the road and rail network covering central Scotland and beyond, Dunblane remains a very desirable area amongst house hunters.
