Set within a well-maintained, traditional stone block in sought-after Corstorphine, this one-bedroom retirement flat offers comfortable, low‑maintenance living with helpful on-site support. The second-floor position (lift access available) enjoys a pleasant outlook towards St Ninian’s Church and direct access to attractive communal gardens and a residents’ lounge for socialising.
The accommodation requires some modernising, which presents an opportunity to personalise the space and add value. The layout includes an entrance hall with a large walk-in cupboard, a bright living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a shower room. Practical features include full double glazing, electric storage heating, and a Careline pull-cord alarm system.
Residents benefit from a morning house manager (Mon–Fri), communal laundry, guest suite (small charge) and residents’ parking. The development is freehold and maintained by factors, giving peace of mind over external upkeep. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for staying connected.
Important points: the flat needs renovation and has electric storage heating which can be costly to run; council tax banding is above average. Age restrictions apply (one resident must be at least 60; if a couple, the second must be at least 55). The surrounding area has strong amenities and transport links, though the locality is recorded as relatively deprived in wider statistics.
