Summary - 27 BELLEVUE COURT, QUEENS ROAD, DUNBAR EH42 1YR
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Sunny southwest aspect, communal gardens and secure living for over-55s.
Dual-aspect sitting room with south-west Juliet balcony and countryside views
This one-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in a purpose-built retirement development on elevated ground overlooking Dunbar countryside. Presented in generally good condition, the property offers a bright dual-aspect sitting room with a south-west-facing Juliet balcony, a compact fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a tiled shower room with handrails. Communal amenities include landscaped gardens, a residents' lounge, on-plot parking and a 24-hour careline alarm.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, no flooding risk and an affordable council tax band. The development is factored (approx. annual fee £2,900) which covers communal upkeep, cleaning, buildings insurance and the careline; single-occupant owners must be 60+ and other owners no younger than 55+. The apartment’s modest footprint (around 517–529 sq ft) makes it best suited to a single occupant or couple, or as a retirement-oriented buy-to-let.
Notable drawbacks are the relatively high service charge for a one-bedroom flat, the local area’s higher deprivation indicators, and some dated internal finishes (carpeted living spaces and mid‑20th century features) that may suit immediate move‑in but could benefit from light modernisation to maximise comfort and future resale value. Tenure details are not provided and should be checked before offer.
Overall, this property offers low‑maintenance, secure retirement living with useful communal facilities, good digital connectivity and pleasant elevated views — a practical choice for downsizers seeking comfort and convenience close to town amenities.
