Low-maintenance, supported living close to Marchmont amenities and green spaces.
One-bedroom first-floor flat with lift access
A compact, well-managed one-bedroom flat in Homeross House, designed for independent retirement living. The first-floor apartment (lift-served) offers a bright sitting/dining room overlooking maintained communal gardens, a practical semi-open-plan kitchen and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes. On-site services include a resident house manager, assist alarm system and access to residents’ lounge, laundry and guest accommodation—comfort and help are available when needed.
Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating and off-street residents’ parking. The property totals approximately 463 sq ft, making it a manageable, low-maintenance home suited to a single occupant or couple seeking convenience close to Marchmont amenities, green space and frequent public transport.
Buyers should note this is a retirement development with an annual management fee of about £2,040 (c. £170/month) covering communal upkeep, manager and building insurance. The flat uses electric storage heating, which can be more expensive than gas central heating and may suit buyers aware of that running-cost profile. The surrounding area is classified as more deprived, so consider local neighbourhood characteristics alongside the immediate development’s pleasant communal grounds.
Overall, this property suits those looking to downsize into a purpose-built retirement setting with on-site support, reasonable communal facilities and a central Marchmont location. It offers straightforward, low-upkeep living but comes with ongoing management costs and modest internal space.
