The property

An opportunity has arisen to acquire a very spacious and well-presented, second floor flat in this popular and convenient retirement complex in the centre of Dalkeith originally constructed for McCarthy & Stone around 2007/8. The location of this property is excellent being centrally situated and only a very short walk from local shops and from the Lidl store opposite. Within the area of this development are a number of shops providing day-to-day requirements, a post office and bank and there are many buses into the city centre of Edinburgh and other local parts. Eskbank Railway Station is just under a mile away whilst Shawfair Station is 1.8 miles from the subjects of sale. Bowman's View is on the A6106 near to the main street via South Street and on to Newmills Road with Lidl on the other side. The purpose-built retirement complex has the requirement that residents must be a minimum of 60 years of age or, in the case of a couple, one can be 55 years of age or above. The building has an attractive and elegant stone-faced elevation and there is a courtyard for residents' parking and landscaped gardens for the benefit of the residents. The gardens comprise a mixture of lawns and flower borders and mature bushes and shrubs. A security entry-phone system has been installed and there is a residents' lift along with stairs to upper and lower levels. The residents' lounge is on the ground floor and there is a laundry room and guest suite within the block. The building has a range of one and two-bedroom flats and guest facilities are available. This is a well-presented and spacious two-bedroomed flat which will be of interest to prospective purchasers looking for a retirement facility within the area. The flat has double glazing and electric heating and a modern fitted kitchen with appliances. There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and the spacious lounge has room for dining at the window. The bathroom has a three-piece suite and an over-bath shower. A twenty-four hour pull-cord Care-line system serves the flat. The development is factored by FirstPort and there is an approximate fee of £1,500 payable twice each year. The fee payable covers cleaning, lighting and maintenance of the common areas together with the lift and services of the house manager and the block buildings insurance premiums are also included.
