Summary - 173/206, COMELY BANK ROAD, EDINBURGH EH4 1DH
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance first-floor retirement flat with on-site warden and parking.
Freehold one-bedroom retirement flat, approx. 426 sq ft
A bright, first-floor one-bedroom retirement flat quietly positioned to the rear of Carlyle Court, offering easy, low-maintenance living in Comely Bank. The apartment is presented in good order with a living/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with mirrored wardrobes and a shower room. Electric panel heating and good natural light make the interior comfortable for single occupancy or a couple.
The development is purpose-built for older residents and includes a 24-hour care line, on-site warden, communal lounge and well-kept communal grounds. Resident and visitor parking is available and the property is freehold, removing leasehold complications often found with retirement housing. The factor fee (approx. £249.74/month; annual average £2,996.88) covers warden, alarm, buildings insurance and communal maintenance.
Considerations are straightforward: the flat is small at around 426 sq ft and suited to downsizers seeking compact accommodation rather than those wanting large living spaces. The local area is described as deprived in wider classifications, and there is a regular service charge to budget for. Heating is by electric panel heaters rather than gas or central heating, which may affect running costs.
Overall, this is a well-maintained, low-upkeep retirement apartment with onsite support and communal facilities. It will suit someone seeking independent living with immediate access to care and a social communal setting, provided the compact size and ongoing service charges fit the buyer’s needs.
