Summary - 86/7, CRAIGLOCKHART TERRACE, EDINBURGH EH14 1BA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Light one-bedroom retirement flat with green outlooks and secure communal facilities.
West-facing living room with open green views
Light, well-presented one-bedroom retirement flat on the first (top) floor of a modern purpose-built development. The living room faces west and enjoys open views over adjacent playing fields to wooded hillsides, providing a calm, green aspect. The fitted kitchen includes freestanding appliances; there is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a three-piece bathroom. Two walk-in hall stores and a matching loft store offer excellent internal storage for a property of this size. Communal benefits include secured entry, private off-street parking, manicured gardens, a guest suite and a 24-hour care line. The flat is freehold and has double glazing and electric heating.
This property suits an active retiree or couple (buyers must be over 60 and capable of living independently). The setting is convenient for local amenities, green routes along the Union Canal, sports facilities and regular bus links to the city centre. The manageable footprint and strong storage make it low-maintenance living for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort.
Notable limitations are factual and important: broadband speeds are slow, so heavy home-working or streaming will be affected. The wider area is recorded as very deprived, which may influence local services and longer-term resale in some market conditions. The flat is compact and may not suit those needing larger living or outdoor private garden space. Buyers should note the electric heating system and check communal service arrangements as part of due diligence.
