Enviably located in popular Craiglockhart, this main door one bedroom retirement upper villa boasts thoughtfully designed and the most stunning views from the southerly west aspect. Part of an exclusive retirement development, residents are accepted from age 60 (for couples, one must be at least 60 and the other at least 55 years of age) with residents' parking, and beautifully maintained landscaped grounds, it offers a delightful home in a tranquil, leafy suburb. Furthermore, it provides peace of mind with a 24-hour Careline alarm system, emergency pull chords in all rooms, and on-site management
staff to offer assistance.

The current owner has modernised the flat completely to an extremely high standard with a stylish kitchen and shower room, new double glazed windows and front door, updated electric heating along with tasteful decor, making this property truly walk in condition and allowing any buyer to move in with ease.

Outside, the development is centred on a landscaped communal garden, planted with shrubs and trees, offering several outdoor seating
areas to sit and relax. There is also private parking for residents and visitors and additional guest accommodation is available within the development. Along with suiting anyone over the age of 60, the property would also make a good investment property for rental purposes.
