Bright, secure one-bedroom retirement flat with parking and on-site support..
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with direct outdoor access
A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Homecairn House, set within a popular retirement development in Inverleith. The front-facing reception room opens via a full-height window and glazed door to outdoor space, and the double bedroom has built-in wardrobes for easy storage. The modern wet-room shower and practical kitchen make day-to-day living straightforward. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Residents benefit from a clear support structure: a weekday on-site house manager, a 24-hour Careline, residents’ lounge, laundry, guest accommodation and well-maintained communal gardens. Private residents’ parking and low-maintenance communal areas add convenience for those seeking an independent, sociable retirement environment.
Important practical points are clear: this is a freehold retirement flat (503 sq ft) with an average annual service/ factoring charge of about £3,020 (paid as £1,510 every six months) covering buildings insurance, communal upkeep and services. Owner-occupiers must meet the age criteria (one resident 60+, partner 55+ if applicable), be capable of independent living and pass an approval interview prior to moving in.
This property will appeal to downsizers seeking a secure, community-focused home in a central location with strong digital connectivity. It is not suitable for buyers needing step-free care provision or those who require a very low service-cost option; the development’s communal management and charges are a trade-off for on-site support and communal amenities.
