A bright two-bedroom corner apartment on the second floor with a sunny southerly aspect and balcony, designed for comfortable retirement living. The apartment sits within Lyle Court, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development offering extensive communal facilities including a homeowners’ lounge, table-service bistro, hair salon, guest suite and landscaped gardens. On-site Estates Manager, 24-hour emergency call system and Care Inspectorate–registered care team provide added reassurance.
The apartment is spacious for its type, with a generous living room, well-equipped kitchen and two double bedrooms, plus two walk-in storage cupboards in the hall. One hour’s domestic assistance is included in the service charge and additional care packages are available if required, making this home suitable for those seeking support with daily tasks while retaining independence.
Be clear about ongoing costs: the service charge is substantial at £12,318.44 per year and Council Tax is described as quite expensive. Heating is by electric storage radiators, which can increase energy bills. Parking is by permit and allocation is limited, so a space is not guaranteed.
Overall, this is a well-located, low-maintenance retirement apartment in an affluent Barnton setting, close to shops, transport and the Cramond shoreline. It will suit downsizers who prioritise on-site care, social facilities and communal living, and who can accommodate the high service charge and electric heating costs.
