Why move to newbuilds in Perthshire?

Perthshire, and Scone in particular, is the gateway to the Scottish Highlands and is famous for its welcoming and vibrant community.

The area is famous for its welcoming and vibrant local community, visitor attractions, recreation facilities, and diverse local businesses.

And this is mirrored by The Kingdom Co-Housing Community for Over 55s, as Earlsgate Scone in Perth includes common facilities to encourage group activities and social meetings between all residents, bringing a unique social dimension to your new home.

So, what’s on offer at Kingdom’s Community for over 55s in Perth?

The homes at Kingdom Co-Housing Community in Scone offer 3 amazing benefits:

1. They are self-contained private apartments, but have shared common spaces
2. They offer independent living within a supportive community, where residents interact with each other and take responsibility for managing elements of the development
3. There is neighbourly support available, which can be missing in some modern housing schemes, and the opportunity to provide companionship and address issues related to social isolation

At Earlsgate Scone, you’ll feel you truly belong

Earlsgate Scone’s private homes are clustered around shared spaces, offering occupants privacy when they need it, as well as a sense of belonging and community at all times.

Those who live at Earlsgate Stone will have the opportunity to be actively involved in the management of the development, making sure they have an active say on what happens where they live.

Residents at Earlsgate Scone will use some of their time to support their neighbours and help manage the Co-Housing Community through involvement with aspects of community living.  Some examples of this might be:  

• Mutual support and providing practical assistance to neighbouring residents
• Arranging and organising shared activities in the common facility
• Undertaking small repairs that are the tenant responsibilities
• Helping with decorating and housekeeping
• Running the finances for local budgets
• Tending the gardens and keeping the area tidy
• Running a shared car scheme

Co-Housing communities thrive on consensus decision making, so, at Earlsgate Scone, all residents are encouraged to offer their opinions and everyone has an equal voice.

The stunning properties are all offered as mid market rented (MMR) homes. MMR is a form of affordable housing where the rent is set between that of social and private housing.

There is a planning restriction on the age of residents who occupy the apartments, therefore tenants must be over 55 years of age.
