Well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor retirement flat with communal gardens and warden support.
Ground-floor retirement flat with lift access and warden service
A bright ground-floor retirement flat in sought-after Morningside, offering level access to well-kept communal gardens and a pleasant south-facing sitting/dining room. The apartment benefits from a secure shared entrance with lift, resident warden and lounge, making daily life easier for older occupants. Double glazing and electric heating keep the running fabric straightforward.
Accommodation is well proportioned for a one-bedroom flat: a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, separate kitchen, modern shower room and useful storage cupboards off the hall. Direct access from the sitting room to the maintained communal grounds provides an outdoor space without private garden upkeep, and Craiglockhart Hill is reachable from the car park for gentle walks.
Practicalities and running costs are important here: the property is freehold but factored with an approximate service charge of £2,532 per year (about £211/month). On-street/resident parking is available but there is no private driveway. EPC rating D and a moderate council tax band are noted.
This property will suit a downsizer or retired buyer who wants a low-maintenance, ground-floor home in a respected neighbourhood with communal support and garden access. Buyers seeking private outdoor space, lower service charges, or a property requiring major modernisation should note those limitations before viewing.
