Final remaining luxury apartments for downsizers

Downsizers looking to move to Scotland’s most prestigious postcode are being urged to act quickly – with less than 10 properties remaining at a luxury retirement development.

The Walled Gardens in St Andrews has only nine apartments left in its third and final phase, four of which have been snapped up within the last week.

The apartments, which are aimed at those over the age of 60, offer spacious surroundings that have been designed to make day-to-day living as hassle-free as possible, without compromising on style.

Coleen Clark, development and sales co-ordinator for The Walled Gardens, said: ‘Apartments at The Walled Gardens have been selling quickly and we now have less than ten properties left.

‘We have had a range of buyers purchasing properties, from downsizers from the west of Scotland to buyers from across the pond. The location has been a real draw.

‘With the development just a short stroll from the centre of town, the apartments offer a quieter retreat away from the busy high street and are the ideal base for those who enjoy hitting the fairways or tranquil strolls along the beach.’

The remaining apartments at the development, which benefit from a large, open-plan Alno kitchens and bright living spaces, come fully carpeted and with a choice of beautiful blinds and curtains on selected plots.

When planning their move, buyers can also take advantage of the Assisted Move package which includes estate agency marketing costs and your Home Report paid.

Coleen added: ‘We want to make moving into your new home as simple and as stress-free an experience as possible.

‘With options such as Assisted Move and small details such as carpets already fitted, you should be able to start enjoying yournew lifestyle by the sea from the moment you step through the door.’

Renowned as ‘The Home of Golf’, buyers can challenge themselves to 18 holes on St Andrews’ world-famous Old Course, or soak up the sun on East Sands beach.

Those looking to venture further afield can explore foodie destinations such Crail and Anstruther, enjoy a dram or two at Kingsbarns Distillery and Visitor Centre or get their walking boots on and discover the scenic Fife Coastal Path.

The Walled Gardens features one and two-bedroom luxury apartments, and is jointly marketed by Rettie & Co. and locally by Thorntons. Prices start at £183,750.

An innovative shared ownership scheme offers buyers the chance to purchase 75%, with the option to buy the further 25% after one year residence.

The Marketing Suite is open Friday through to Monday from 11am to 5pm. To arrange a viewing outwith these hours, contact Thorntons, Bell Street, St Andrews on 01334 474200.
