Slaeside is a peaceful enclave, set off Deanpark Brae. This small courtyarded development offers landscaped gardens and private off-street parking. It is a Sheltered Housing development and, as such, prospective purchasers are buying a 70% share of the ownership and Hanover (Scotland) Housing retain the remaining 30%. However, the owner has 100% usage of the property.

The apartment's front door opens into the hall that has its own cupboard, a very useful box room and also where you will find the hatch to the private attic with pull-down ladder. The comfortable living room is east facing and consequently bright and airy. The kitchen adjoins the living room and has both floor and wall mounted storage units, pristine work surfaces with tiled splashbacks and slot in appliances. There is a large walk-in cupboard at one end of the kitchen that houses the hot water cylinder and cold-water tank which doubles nicely as a pantry cupboard.

The double bedroom is south facing and large enough to accommodate all required furniture. There is a naturally lit shower room with three-piece suite and ladder towel rail; the basin is enclosed in a vanity unit. The apartment benefits from electric heating and double glazing. The overall development also has a 24-hour Careline system and there is a part-time house manager/warden on site.

Prospective purchasers:
* must be a minimum age of 60
* capable of independent living and
* will be subject to approval by Hanover (Scotland) Housing Association

A monthly service charge is payable (£154 approx.)
