The property

This attractive ground floor flat with private terrace forms part of a well-regarded retirement complex in the esteemed Comely Bank district of the city, close to excellent amenities and transport links. Offered for sale in move in condition with fresh, neutral décor, this well-proportioned ground floor apartment is one of few in the development to feature direct access to a private terrace. A secure entry system gives access to a well maintained communal hallway where at the ground floor the front door opens to a welcoming hallway with useful walk-in storage. The reception room is to the front of the property and has direct access to the private terrace, which in turn overlooks attractively landscaped communal gardens, offering the perfect spot for relaxing or al fresco dining during the warmer months. The good-sized kitchen has a window to the side of the building and is fitted with a quality range of wall and base units with integrated double oven, hob and cooker hood with the fridge freezer and washing machine also included in the sale, leaving ample space for a small table and chairs. A generous double bedroom is to the front and features a deep built-in wardrobe with hanging and shelving space and light.

Carlyle Court offers independent living to those over the age of 60 within a likeminded community of 80 apartments. A pull-cord alarm system and building manager offer peace of mind and residents are required to pass a short interview that confirms they are capable of living independently. There are communal spaces for social activities throughout the development and a 2 bedroom visitors flat is available for up to three friends or family members to visit for a small additional cost. Attractively landscaped communal gardens surround the development with lawn, mature flower and shrub borders and outside seating areas. Residents parking is provided on a first come first served basis and the building and grounds are maintained by a factor. At present, Hanover Housing are the appointed factors but a Resident’s Vote in June 2024 will be appointing a new company to take on the responsibility for the cleaning and maintenance of communal parts, landscaping and maintenance of the grounds, maintaining the lift and providing buildings insurance. Further information and approximate costs will be available from Neilsons as soon as they are available. Council Tax Band - D
