Set within a purpose-built retirement development in Colinton, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers low‑maintenance living close to local shops and regular bus links into Edinburgh city centre. The apartment has a comfortable dual-aspect living/dining room with a feature fireplace, a modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a shower room — a practical layout for independent downsizers.
Residents benefit from communal amenities including well-maintained grounds, a lounge on two levels, laundry room, guest suite and a 24‑hour Careline system. There is a house manager (weekday hours) and resident parking is available by lease (subject to availability and separate fee). The building’s stone elevations and landscaped frontage give good kerb appeal and outlooks toward the Pentland Hills from some windows.
Important practical points: the development is factored with an above-average service charge of about £4,400 per year which covers communal maintenance, buildings insurance, the house manager and the careline. Parking costs and availability are not guaranteed and carry an additional annual charge. Heating is electric and there is a single shower room — factors to consider for running costs and mobility needs.
This flat suits a retired buyer seeking a secure, sociable development with on-site support and easy access to local amenities. It offers straightforward, low‑upkeep accommodation with some communal comforts, but purchasers should budget for the higher service charge and possible parking costs, and consider the local area’s wider deprivation indicators when assessing long‑term investment or lifestyle suitability.
