This bright, southerly-facing two-bedroom apartment at Lyle Court offers comfortable, low-effort retirement living in a sought-after Barnton location.

Lyle Court is a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone “retirement living plus” development for the over-70s, with 24-hour on-site management, an Estates Manager, personal emergency pendants and communal facilities including a bistro with subsidised lunches, homeowners’ lounge, roof terrace, landscaped gardens, hair salon, laundry, guest suite and social activities. One hour of domestic assistance weekly is included in the service charge, which supports communal heating, cleaning, maintenance and staffing.
Practical points are important: this apartment is freehold and includes private parking by permit (subject to availability). Transport links are excellent with bus stops immediately outside and local shops, pharmacy, cafés and the Cramond shoreline within walking distance. Broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be aware of the material running costs: the service charge is high (£12,318.44 pa) and council tax is described as quite expensive. Guest suite and some communal extras incur additional fees. These costs are the trade-off for comprehensive on-site care, services and communal amenities that reduce day-to-day responsibilities.
