This third-floor retirement corner flat is a spacious two-bedroom residence, which forms part of a sought-after McCarthy and Stone retirement development. It is enviably located in Marchmont, close to The Meadows, amenities, and regular transport links into the city centre. The property is well-presented throughout and it has a quality kitchen and shower room. Furthermore, residents have access to private parking, a communal lounge and sun terrace, a shared laundry room, and a guest room (which is £35 per night). Reached via a secure shared entrance and a lift service, the flat’s front door opens into a welcoming hall. It offers three cupboards for storage before flowing into the living and dining room. Here, there is ample floorspace for comfy lounge furniture, as well as space for a table and chairs set in the curvature of a trio of windows. The southwest-facing room sees an abundance of natural light too, and it benefits from neutral décor that amplifies an airy ambience. It is perfect for everyday use. Conveniently next door, the kitchen has a well-appointed design, fitted with modern cabinets and complementary worksurfaces. It is a good-size space, which is further enhanced by seamlessly integrated appliances (oven, ceramic hob, concealed extractor, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher).

Mirroring the aesthetic of the living area, the two bedrooms are both bright and inviting. The principal bedroom is a large double, whereas the second bedroom is a single, which is currently organised as an office showcasing the home’s versatility. Both rooms also feature built-in wardrobes to maximise the useable floorspace. A modern three-piece shower room completes the accommodation. Electric heating and double glazing ensure a warm, yet cost-effective living environment all year round. Outside, there is private residents’ parking and a communal sun terrace, which is perfect for relaxing and socialising outdoors on a warm day.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.
