The living room faces the communal garden, and an open-access kitchen with appliances and a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes provide comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation. The building offers practical communal facilities including a lounge, laundry, guest suite, house manager and a 24-hour careline system.
Practical running costs include electric heating and double glazing; the flat is freehold but factored by FirstPort Scotland with an approximate charge of £1,100 every six months covering communal maintenance, careline, manager and buildings insurance. Limited residents’ parking is available on site. Broadband speeds are reported slow; mobile signal is excellent.
Suitability is restricted to those aged 60+ (55+ for one partner) and to people capable of independent living who must be approved by the factor. The apartment is modest in size (around 474–476 sq ft) and presents a straightforward, traditional layout — attractive for someone seeking a manageable home close to parks, shops, transport and local amenities. Note the area’s broader deprivation indicators and that electric heating can mean higher energy bills compared with gas systems.
