Bright, low-maintenance two-bedroom flat arranged over a single level in a modern development in North Fettes. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area flows onto a south-facing balcony with wide views over the Firth of Forth. The principal bedroom has an en-suite; bedroom two includes built-in wardrobes. Lift access and a secure entryphone add everyday convenience.
The development is factored with grounds maintenance, lift and building insurance included in an approximate annual service charge of £1,920 (£160pcm). There is plentiful unallocated off-street parking and well-kept communal grounds. Appliances and fitted floorcoverings are included in the sale price, reducing immediate move-in costs.
Practical considerations: council tax is above average and the wider area scores as very deprived, reflecting mixed local demographics and student/commuter activity. The flat is an average-sized 753 sq ft and best suited to buyers seeking a manageable, well-located home or a straightforward buy-to-let with strong rental demand from students and commuters.
Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep apartment that offers attractive water views, good transport and leisure links, and immediate livability. Buyers should allow for the ongoing factor charge and higher council tax when budgeting.
