Location
Ravelston, situated by Murrayfield, has long been established as one of the most desirable suburbs of Edinburgh. It combines some of the finest architecture in Edinburgh with tree-lined avenues, large areas of mature public gardens and peaceful walkways along the Water of Leith. Situated just over a mile from the City Centre, it is home to two of the country's most celebrated art galleries. The area is convenient for access out of town to Edinburgh International Airport. There are excellent road links and regular buses run frequently in and out of the city. The area is particularly popular with families, with schools including St. George's, Mary Erskine's, Stewart's Melville, Fettes College and The Edinburgh Academy all within easy reach. Murrayfield Golf Course is within very close proximity, as is Ravelston Golf Club. There is a number of other sporting and leisure facilities close by, including the Murrayfield Ice Rink. There is a good range of local shops in Roseburn and the Craigleith Retail Park is a short car journey away.
Garden
Above the twin level underground parking is a landscape architect designed garden extending to over 7000 sq ft. Extensive lawned areas are married to solid sandstone paving, gravel paths, semi mature trees and a carefully designed shrub planting scheme, with a subtle lighting design that creates a feature of the garden after dark.
Parking
The twin level underground car parking has dedicated private parking bays. In addition, a roller shutter controls access and egress. Elevated walkways provide access to the state of the art Premier range of Gen2 lifts by OTIS.
Visitor's car parking is available within the development on the north elevation.
Fixtures and Fittings
The extensive glass curtain walling features a mix of electrically and manually operated plain off white coloured blinds by Goelst. All apartments have an Opus 300 background music system which delivers sound via Nordaunt Short ceiling speakers in the kitchen area, bedrooms, en-suites and bathrooms. There is a hub in an easily accessible cupboard which allows for peripherals to be added to the system.
Local input plates in the bedrooms and living/kitchen will allow users to override the main Opus system locally, by plugging in an ipod, laptop or other peripheral. In addition, voice and data points are to be distributed throughout for broadband and telecoms. The facility for Sky+ is provided with the provision of Sky HD in the living areas.
The apartments have a four circuit Evolution lighting system in the living room and kitchen areas operated via a patch panel and remote hand-held control.
Siemens appliances are used throughout and include an induction hob, extractor canopy (where applicable), fan assisted electric oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave.
The bathrooms and en suites feature selections from the exclusive white Kohler ranges of Freelance and Escale fittings.
Services
The design of the sophisticated gas fired communal heating and hot water system is based on the well-established, environmentally friendly continental model of a central boiler supplying all apartments.
Heat is delivered via a wet under floor circuit to all areas, except the bathrooms and en-suites, where there is an electric chrome heated towel rail and an under floor electric trace arrangement.
Under floor heating is inherently more effective, distributing heat evenly across rooms, allowing the temperature in the apartments to be more accurately controlled via electronic thermostatic controls.
High pressure hot water cylinders are fitted to each apartment and heated via a conventional indirect coil system from the central boiler. Cold water is to be supplied from a central storage tank. There are also back up boilers.
Heating and hot water consumption is individually metered for each apartment and the gas bill apportioned by the individual flow meter's reading.
Each apartment has a colour screen video entry phone system. The external doors are operated by an electronic key pad. Each apartment has a security alarm system which is linked to the concierge's office and is monitored by him when on duty.
An additional alarm panel is also provided should owners wish a separate Redcare facility. The apartment doors have traditional steel five lever locks.
Convenient recycling and bin stores are provided within the car park structure.
One dedicated communal bike storage area is available on each level.
Management
Hacking & Paterson have been commissioned as the factors. The annual fee has been estimated at £2,500 per annum for levels 6 and below. This includes the maintenance of all the mutual and private gardens, the stair lighting, lift insurance/maintenance and mutual building insurance.
£1,000 of this has been allocated to the heating bills, £500 of this amount payable upon entry as a float for the communal gas bill. Their services ensure that all mutual areas will be maintained to the highest of specifications.
There is a concierge service. Owners will jointly have the option via the factor to continue this service if they wish to. The concierge is responsible for assisting in deliveries, co-ordinating access for tradesmen on behalf of owners if required and also ensuring all owners adhere to the development's terms and conditions as set down in the Deed of Conditions. The Concierge is a day time service from 8am to 5pm.
