DESCRIPTION

Entrance to the house is via several steps up to the elevated position it holds. Passing by the well-tended, mature and well stocked garden, you reach the front door and are welcomed not only by lovely views to the northeast and the Firth of Forth but also a leafy outlook onto this peaceful street.

Entrance Vestibule leads through a semi-glazed door to the spacious hall with neutral carpeting and décor.

Sitting Room

The sitting room with its large triple bay window (all windows are double glazed and modern) and solid timber floor boasts a focal point of an attractive fireplace and gas fire. It overlooks the front of the house enjoying the same views as the front garden. Recessed lit Edinburgh press for display.

Kitchen/Dining Room

From the hall and to the rear of the house is the kitchen diner. Bathed in light and with views of the garden, this is a great and well-proportioned space. At present the quality timber kitchen units both wall mounted and undercounter snake around the sides allowing a great feeling of space. It benefits from two different washing up areas; one overlooking the garden and the second, a bowl sink to the other side. There is an integrated fridge/ freezer plus washing machine and dryer. There are Bosch appliances as well as Neff double ovens. The worktops are light and practical. The neutral tiled floor and walls complete the look making this a practical as well as quality kitchen.

Principal Bedroom

The double bedroom is light and bright and overlooks the garden at eye level giving a relaxing feel. Neutral décor and timber floor gives this room a clean and simple feel. There is a double fitted wardrobe as well as recessed open shelving with drawers beneath.

Double Bedroom Two

Another good-sized double bedroom to the front of the property, again, light and bright with its four paned large windows enjoying the elevated position and views.

Double Bedroom Three

Also to the front of the property is this bright bedroom, currently used as a study but versatile.

Family Bathroom

Good sized family bathroom with opaque window to the rear of the property. Large period bath with handheld shower and white sanitary ware. Separate shower unit with Hans Grohe attachments.

The bathroom is white in décor and together with a neutral tiled floor and walls has a clean and fresh feel.

Hall Cupboard

This large walk-in cupboard which presently offers ample space for household appliances as well as shelves for laundry and storage could also be converted into a staircase to the attic should the buyers wish to convert this.

Outside Space

The gardens are an inviting and alluring feature to the house. They have been lovingly and painstakingly attended to by the current owners creating a real haven of peace and tranquillity both to the front and particularly to the rear.

Front Garden

This is terraced and sweeps up together with the stone steps from street level. The mature shrubs and planting provide interest and greenery not only on the walk up to the front door but also from the reception rooms at the front. To the left-hand side of the front door there is a paved area with a bench and seating space where you can relax and enjoy the view.

A secure double gate leads from this side to the back garden along an attractive and wide paved pathway, leading to the back garden.

Rear Garden

This is a peaceful, colourful and beautiful area as well as a sun trap which slopes up with beds on either side of a large lawn area all framed by a mature horse chestnut tree at the top.

A low wall frames the garden at the house end and steps from the middle, flanked by attractive borders on both sides lead up to the lawn which in addition to a wide array of shrubs and plants, gains privacy from high hedging on one side and a combination of shrubs and fruit trees on the other. Just through the gap to the east there is a clear view of the Bass Rock which, sitting in central Edinburgh is quite a coup.
