    306 Carlyle Court, 173 Comely Bank Road boasts an outstanding location within walking distance of Stockbridge, a large Waitrose supermarket, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, whilst the city centre is within striking distance. The home has a 24-hour alarm system with a pull-cord in every room and working staff are available 7 days a week. A sheltered housing manager lives on site. Relaxed communal areas with comfortable seating are found throughout the development on various floors (including the second) where regular social activities are held and hosted.

An electric fire creates a cosy focal point, whilst two large window panes bathe the area in natural light, offering delightful garden views. A good-sized kitchen is next door fitted with wood-style cabinets and excellent workspace, along with a range of appliances. Meanwhile, a well-proportioned double bedroom comes with plenty of space for bedside furnishings and a built-in mirrored wardrobe with sliding doors. Finishing the home is a three-piece shower room with a walk-in shower unit for ease and convenience. Double glazing throughout and efficient electric storage heaters ensure year-round comfort.
