Constructed in the late 1980s Merrievale Court is an imaginatively designed complex of 21 properties arranged over three floors. It is designed to cater for the active retired and is available to buyers over the age of 60 years. The apartment has an alarm system which allows calls between the residents and the manager. In the manager's absence the alarm is linked by telephone to a call centre. There is also a personal alarm pendant linked to the same system. The building also has a lift, wheelchair access, a shared resident's lounge (with kitchen and toilet facilities), a laundry room (fitted with washing machines and tumble driers) and a guest's suite for overnight visitors.
