A compact, well-managed one-bedroom retirement flat on the first floor of Roseburn House, presented with bright living space and an open outlook across Roseburn Park. The development is geared to over-60s (second resident can be 55) and includes a house manager, Careline alarm, communal lounge, lift access and private residents' parking — practical features that support independent living.
Interior accommodation is straightforward and easy to maintain: entrance hall with storage, a spacious sitting room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom. At about 484 sq ft the apartment is average-sized for a retirement property, with neutral contemporary finishes and communal gardens for outside seating and socialising.
Running costs are clear: the freehold ownership is accompanied by a service charge of approximately £1,896 per year (circa £158 pcm) which covers buildings insurance, Careline, lift maintenance and shared-area upkeep. Council tax is moderate. There is no flood risk and the building has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for staying connected.
Buyers should note the broader neighbourhood is within a generally deprived city classification despite being only a short drive or regular bus/tram trip from the city centre and local amenities. The flat is practical rather than lavish; it suits someone seeking convenience, on-site support and easy access to transport rather than a rural or high-end luxury setting.
