This well-presented first-floor retirement flat sits within an established purpose-built development in Roseburn, a short trip from Edinburgh city centre. The layout is compact and efficient, with a bright reception/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with mirrored wardrobes and a contemporary shower room. Recent double glazing and electric heating help keep running costs manageable.
The development is purpose-designed for older owners and includes a lift, communal lounge, landscaped communal gardens, residents’ parking, a guest suite for visitors, a house manager and 24-hour careline monitoring. Age qualifications apply (60 for an individual; 60 and 55 for couples). Ownership is freehold but subject to those retirement ownership criteria.
Practical costs and local context are important: the service charge is approximately £1,896 per year (around £158 monthly) to cover communal maintenance and building insurance, and council tax is Band D. The immediate area is described as very deprived with nearby student neighbourhoods, which may affect local bustle and long-term resale considerations.
For a downsizer seeking low-maintenance living close to shops, transport and city amenities, this flat offers convenience and on-site support. It’s best suited to buyers who prioritise communal facilities and security over private outdoor space and who accept the service charge and retirement ownership conditions.
