Summary - FLAT 30, 2, BARNTON AVENUE WEST, EDINBURGH EH4 6EB
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Single-level two-bedroom flat with on-site support and parking.
Ground-floor retirement flat with direct communal garden access
Bright ground-floor retirement flat in a quiet, landscaped courtyard on the western edge of the city. The bay-fronted lounge opens via a French door onto communal garden grounds, delivering easy outdoor access and natural light. Two bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and good built-in storage suit downsizers seeking single-level living with communal support.
The development provides practical retirement amenities including a 24-hour call system with pull cords, on-site manager on weekdays, guest suite and residents’ lounge. There is lift access and off-street parking, and regular buses link to the city centre, airport and local shops including Scotmid and a nearby Tesco.
The property is offered freehold with a Home Report valuation of £210,000; current asking price £205,000. Service charges run at about £3,600 per year and cover buildings insurance, communal maintenance, gardening, lift upkeep and the warden service. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal.
Internally the flat is in fair decorative order but partly dated — green carpet, mid-20th-century finishes and some areas noted as having potential mould risk in the living room. Buyers should expect cosmetic updating; any purchasers must also meet the development’s residency criteria and attend an interview with the property managers. Council tax is above average for the area.
