2 bedroom retirement property for sale

Scottish Independent Care Group, Argus, has created a new dimension in residential care with the construction of the new Rosemount Golf Care Centre, and associated 'close care' cottages.

Rosemount Care Centre has been developed to provide first class accommodation not seen before in Scotland. The Care Centre features a residents bar; a therapeutic swimming pool, library and many more features not usually seen in a care context. The building itself is designed in a very contemporary and modern style, not at all what is usually expected of this type of building.

Alongside the care centre, there are five 'close care' cottages. The term 'close care' describes a home, which incorporates a number of specialist systems providing safety, security and dignity of the owner whilst allowing them to remain in their own home. The properties are connected to the care centre by a voice-call system, ensuring that assistance is available when needed. Other systems limit flooding and cooking incidents; lights turn on automatically when required, and rather cleverly, turn on the toilet light when the owner gets out of bed, and vice versa! The system can be programmed to alert the care staff in the event that an owner does not return to bed within a certain predetermined time, meaning of course that if a fall occurs during the night, care staff are automatically called.

The specification and finish of the cottages is extremely high, and not dissimilar to other high quality mainstream housing. Each home has 2 bedrooms , a private parking space and garden area. The accommodation comprises approx. 100 square metres (1076sq ft).

A larger cottage is available, which also has a conservatory and study. Please ask for details.

The Rosemount Care Cottages are located on the southern side of Blairgowrie in the sought after residential area of Rosemount. Rosemount is known for its leafy streets and old established homes.

Blairgowrie is a vibrant market town with a good range of shops and services including banks and solicitors, doctors and a community hospital. Amongst some excellent independent shops Blairgowrie has an antique shop, a farm shop, country sports shops and several cafes and restaurants. For a more comprehensive range of high street shops and professional services Perth and Dundee are both about half an hour away by car.

Blairgowrie could hardly be better placed for people who enjoy the Scottish countryside. The spectacular Angus Glens rise up to the north and east of Blairgowrie and the hills of Perthshire to the west. Fertile local farmland is famed for its production of berries due to the temperate climate in the area and amongst many local beauty spots are and the Cataran Trail to Glenisla, the Bluebell Walks at Ardblair and the worlds tallest Beech Hedge at Meikleour.

Rosemount is also an location for golfers. Not only is it situated close to one of Scotland's finest golf courses, it is within about 30 miles of world-renowned courses at Carnoustie, Gleneagles and St Andrews. Popular local courses are at Alyth and Glenisla.

Rosemount is well placed for access to Scotland's major towns and road networks. Both Perth and Dundee have rail links and there are regular flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports to London, USA and Europe and from Dundee Airport to London City.
