Flat 30, Sandford Gate, 1 Halley's Court, Kirkcaldy, Fife, KY1 1NZ

The property

Andrew K Price is pleased to present this spacious 2 bedroom, 1st floor flat located within the sought-after retirement complex of Sandford Gate, Kirkcaldy. This attractively presented, modern property is particularly bright and sunny and benefits from being located in one of the best positions within the development. The property is entered on the ground floor through a security intercom system with a C.C.T.V. camera. The security system allows visitors direct contact to the apartment or alternatively contact can be made via the resident warden. Upon entry, the 1st floor accommodation may be accessed by the lift or stairs. The entrance to the flat is located in a quiet position at the end of the common hallway. The property’s entrance hallway has 2 handy storage cupboards and gives access to the main bathroom, two double bedrooms and living/dining room. Both bedrooms are well proportioned and contain fitted wardrobes to maximise the space provided. Bedroom 1 has a single Juliette balcony which overlooks the well-kept communal gardens and parking area. Bedroom 2 overlooks the same area and has the added benefit of an en-suite. The large living/dining room has a double Juliette balcony which again overlooks the gardens and parking area. The modern, well-designed kitchen is accessed from the dining area. Sandford Gate is situated in a quiet yet very central location within Kirkcaldy and is only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre with local shops, bars and restaurants, the railway and bus stations, library, museum, renowned Adam Smith Theatre and the promenade leisure centre. The development was purpose-built for the retirement community by McCarthy and Stone circa 2002 and comprises 61 self-contained apartments on four floors (served by a lift). There are excellent security arrangements in place ensuring residents feel safe and comfortable. There are alarm/help pull cords in each room and throughout the development which provide residents with the comfort of knowing that there is a 24 hour emergency call response and monitoring service. Each apartment also has a smoke detector system which connects direct to Fife Fire Service. The development has a House Manager on site who is the first point of contact to provide help and support to residents during office hours and ensure the development runs smoothly. The development also has a hotel-style guest suite (with ensuite bathroom, TV and tea/coffee making facilities) where residents’ friends and family are welcome to stay for a modest fee. Pets are allowed in the development and there is a communal social lounge where residents can partake in group activities such as bingo and enjoy the company of fellow residents and visitors. There is also a shared kitchen facility and laundrette/washroom. Please note, there are age restrictions in place with residents having to be at least sixty years of age (or in the case of a couple one must be over sixty and the other over fifty-five). The property will, however, also be of interest to buy to let investors of any age as long as their tenants meet the minimum age criteria. Kirkcaldy is a lively seaside town known for its diverse range of shopping and cultural facilities. The train station, with frequent services both north and south, brings the historic capital Edinburgh and the thriving city of Dundee within easy reach, whilst there is easy access to the motorway network and Edinburgh airport.
