About
Light and tastefully presented, one-bedroom, third-floor retirement flat, set within a purpose-built development.
Located in the vibrant and desirable Polwarth area, just west of Edinburgh city centre.
The property is accessed via a welcoming, light-filled hallway, complete with two large storage cupboards—ideal for keeping the living space clutter-free.
The open-plan sitting and dining area is neutrally decorated and benefits from two large windows that flood the room with natural light, while the layout comfortably accommodates a dining table, making it a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining.
Set off the lounge, the kitchen is fitted with wall and base units, wood-effect worktops, a sink with a drainer, and a tiled surround.
