The generous living/dining room with bay window provides a pleasant leafy outlook over the communal gardens, and the fitted kitchen comes with appliances included. Two double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and the shower room features a walk-in shower for ease of use.
Practical retirement features include a secure entry, communal reception atrium, resident parking, a part-time house manager and a 24-hour care call system with emergency pull cords. The development is freehold and currently sits £20,000 below the home-report valuation, which could appeal to buyers seeking value in this sought-after area.
Buyers should note the flat needs some modernisation and cosmetic renovation throughout. The property has double glazing and electric heating but will benefit from updating to contemporary standards. There is an annual service charge (approx. £2,748) covering building insurance, lift and garden maintenance and the 24-hour alarm system, and purchasers must pass an interview with the factor. Age restrictions apply: at least one resident must be 60+, the other no younger than 55.
Location is a strong selling point — Barnton is a quiet, well-connected suburb with local shops, frequent buses and easy access to green spaces and nearby amenities. For someone downsizing who values security, communal support and a peaceful setting, this flat offers a solid base with scope to modernise and add personal touches.
