Flat for sale in Chalmers Crescent, Edinburgh EH9

This is a particularly bright second floor "retirement" flat in ever popular Marchmont. It comprises hall, a very spacious and attractive living come dining room, double and single bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, a good-sized kitchen and shower room.

Homeroyal House is a retirement housing complex built in 1987 and run by FirstPort. It provides lifts to all floors in the building, a large residents' lounge with roof terrace, a communal laundry and accommodation available for guests to book. A resident management staff member works office hours. The audio-controlled door entry system provides security and an alarm call service is available in every flat. A number of resident led activities take place on a regular basis.

Local amenities are easily accessible. Local shops include fishmongers, bakers and greengrocers, and there are coffee shops pretty much just across the road or round the corner. A Sainsbury's Local and a Scotmid are close by too and, when more major stocking up is needed, the Morningside Waitrose and Sainsbury's and Aldi at Cameron Toll are only a short drive away.

Walks around and across The Meadows are just a short walk away and there is easy access to the cinema (the Dominion in Morningside or the Cameo in Tollcross), the theatre (the Festival Theatre, just down from the Bridges) while there are regular concerts at The Queens Hall in Newington.

The area is well served by buses. The stops for the Lothian No 9 are very close meaning that it is very easy to get to and from the City Centre, but there is also private off street parking for those with cars. The property is in good decorative order throughout. The main apartments have pleasant emulsion finishes to the walls, covings and textured ceilings. Heating is provided by an electric fire in the living room and electric panel heaters in the bedrooms. Double glazing helps keep the flat quiet and warm and the hot water comes from an electric heater.

All curtains and blinds and the cooker and fridge freezer are included in the price. Other items of furniture can remain in the property as the buyer wishes. Viewing is most certainly recommended.
