For those planning their retirement or thinking about downsizing, choosing a home for this new chapter can be a tough decision.

The Walled Gardens, St Andrews offers a unique opportunit­y to make the most of this exciting and liberating phase, in a setting designed to help older people continue to live an active and independen­t life.

Comprising 78 one and two bedroom apartments, the homes at The Walled Gardens have been thoughtful­ly designed throughout – offering stylish open plan kitchens and living spaces, and ease of access features including lift access and car parking provision. With only one property remaining in the first phase of this stunning developmen­t, downsizers should act quickly.

Located in the heart of the historic town of St Andrews, the developmen­t is only a short walk away from the town centre. St Andrews is a thriving community of small, independen­t stores, delicatess­ens and cafes. There’s a year round calendar of cultural events, from performing arts to food festivals, and of course, a range of golf courses if you enjoy a round or two.

Home to more than just world-renowned courses and excellent local amenities, St Andrews is the perfect place for lovers of the outdoors, as it boasts some of Scotland’s most beautiful scenery – such as West Sands, an award winning local beach. Enjoy the nearby woodland and river walks on your doorstep, or simply wander through The Walled Gardens’ very own orchard.

Starting at £176,250*, apartments are available on a shared ownership basis. This means buyers can purchase a 75%* share of the property (at open market value), with the remaining 25% being held by the Developer. They’ll then have the option to buy the remaining 25% after a one year qualifying period. This can be an attractive option to those who wish to release equity for their retirement, and buyers considerin­g a new life at The Walled Gardens will be pleased to hear that it was recently awarded the ‘Best Shared Ownership Developmen­t’ award at the Inside Housing Developmen­t Awards 2017 in London.
