1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance one-bedroom home with extensive communal facilities.
Ground-floor apartment, newly renovated and move-in ready
A bright, newly renovated ground-floor retirement flat in central Morningside, offered in move-in condition. The south-facing sitting/dining room has a Juliet balcony and large window, while a good-sized double bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe. Practical storage is strong, with an excellent walk-in cupboard off the reception hall.
The development provides purposeful communal facilities: residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite, communal gardens and a 24-hour careline with an on-site house manager. Broadband and mobile signal are both excellent, and the building has lifts to all levels, double glazing and electric heating.
Important practical points: the property is part of a factored McCarthy & Stone development with an average service charge of £2,933.28 per year (approx. £244.44 pcm). Residents must pass an occupancy assessment and meet age criteria (individuals 60+, couples one 60+ and one 55+). Optional residents’ permit parking is available at around £250 per annum.
This apartment suits someone downsizing who wants low-maintenance, secure living in a popular Morningside location with local shops and green spaces close by. Note the compact footprint (around 624 sq ft) and the building’s location within an area recorded as very deprived, which may influence local services and community resources.
