This main-door two-bedroom flat occupies a generous conversion of a Victorian Gothic property in the sought-after Corstorphine area. The apartment feels bright and airy, with a well-proportioned reception room opening via French doors onto a private decked patio, and an open-plan modern kitchen that suits easy, low-maintenance living. Tall ceilings and period stone features remain visible on the exterior, giving the building strong kerb appeal.
The layout is practical for retirement living: a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a second double bedroom, a stylish shower room and useful built-in storage in the entrance hallway. Residents benefit from well-maintained communal gardens and off-street parking. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern connectivity and home working or streaming.
Buyers should note ongoing communal costs: a factoring fee (approximately £1,200 per year / ~£100 per month) covers garden upkeep, buildings insurance and management. The property is freehold but forms part of a managed block, so these charges are payable. Council Tax is Band D (moderate). The wider local classification lists the area as affluent but some data indicates higher deprivation locally; prospective buyers should check local services and transport links to confirm suitability.
Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a low-stairs, character-filled home with private outdoor space and easy upkeep. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions and flow between reception, kitchen and decking.
