About Beresford Square

A delightful development of two and three bedroom homes, incorporating specifically designed features to meet the needs of the mature homeowner.

Purposely Designed and Built Homes Exclusively for the Over 55’s

 

These luxury homes, cater exclusively for the over 55’s, and are ideal for those wanting a more manageable home, which are capable of accommodating changing needs in the years ahead. A place where relaxed independence is enjoyed by like minded people who feel secure both in their surroundings and financial investment.

Ideally situated adjoining the Gortmerron Link Road, Dungannon Park yet close to the M1 motorway, and the nearby Linen Green Shopping Complex, Beresford Square boasts a convenient location.

The two buildings “The Terrace” and “The Cloisters” provide an architecturally attractive period appearance of days gone by, yet designed to provide security, privacy, preserve independence and relinquish owners from the burden of household and garden maintenance.

Individual intruder alarm, remote control of the electronic front vehicular gates and door provide total security, allowing one to relax into their surroundings and enjoy the company of like minded people in a controlled private atmosphere.

All homes benefit of bright spacious rooms, with oversized windows, extremely generous floor spaces (950 sq ft –1500 sq ft approx), whilst those on the ground floor have a very pleasant private garden.

Each home has a purpose built cavity wall, and is separated by a solid fifteen inch floor slab which includes 40mm of high density insulation, the ground floor homes having 100mm of high density insulation. This level of sound and heat insulation surpasses greatly all-current regulations. The glass in the sliding sash windows is “K” glass, the boiler a gas high efficiency-condensing boiler with underfloor heating throughout, the tiling marble. This high level of specification is only found today in “one offs” or “self build construction”.

Every home will have full use of the highly landscaped formal gardens, specially designed allowing points of interest to include a sun dial, a bird table, a water feature, a pergola, gazebo etc. the garden is designed to allow people to mix with other like minded people, through the positioning of seats at various locations.

Lifts allow access for everyone from the allocated underground basement parking to ground floor level. A Stannagh stair lift is fitted for the later convenience of the first and second floor homes, which do not have lifts to ensure that access to the second floor is possible for many years to come.

Each home is fully decorated and fitted with Kitchen and Fireplace. Marble tiling to Kitchen, bathrooms and utility room – see specification enclosed.

In the design and specification of these homes, Havelock Homes benefited from research into retirement homes across England and Wales.
