Bright ground-floor retirement flat offering comfortable, manageable living on the western edge of the city. The spacious lounge/diner with bay window and French door opens directly onto well-kept communal gardens, creating easy access to outdoor space and natural light. Two double bedrooms and generous storage cupboards suit those looking to downsize without sacrificing space.
The development is designed for over-60s who remain independent and includes an on-site manager (weekdays), 24-hour emergency pull-cord service, lift access, residents’ lounge and guest suite. Off-street parking and regular bus routes make getting about straightforward; local shops and the Gyle complex are a short drive away.
Practical drawbacks are clear and described: the flat currently needs renovation and presents dated internal finishes, including older carpeting and wallpaper. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average. The factoring charge of about £300 per month (approx. £3,600pa) covers building insurance, gardening, lift maintenance, communal upkeep and the on-site manager. Prospective purchasers must meet development criteria and attend an interview with the management company.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a secure, social retirement setting with garden access and on-site support, and who is prepared to carry out cosmetic or more extensive refurbishment to personalise the home.
