This substantial five-bedroom detached house is an executive residence that offers spacious, light and airy rooms and excellent versatility to suit your requirements. It features two reception areas and two washrooms, and it benefits from neutral decoration, excellent storage, and characterful period details. The home further boasts secure private parking and expansive mature gardens that are neatly landscaped. It forms part of a family-friendly neighbourhood located in the Colinton conservation area, and it is close to amenities, schools, and transport links. The family home also enjoys an idyllic setting near the Pentland Hills and Edinburgh green belt, yet is still within easy commuting distance of the city centre. Whilst this property would now benefit from modernisation, it remains an outstanding opportunity for large families and luxury lifestyles.
Entrance – Captivates from the outset
With a wonderful approach beside the front garden, the home captivates from the outset. Inside, you are greeted by a vestibule and central hall, which offers a fantastic introduction and built-in storage.
Reception rooms – Two reception rooms with wonderful garden views
The living room is the main reception area, providing a lovely space for daily use. It features elegant décor, divided by a picture rail, and plush carpeting for a comfortable environment. The room has spacious proportions for various lounge furnishings and it has dual-aspect windows for a bright ambience, including a near full-height window with inspiring garden views. A focal-point fireplace with a handsome surround completes the room. From here, bi-folding doors make a grand entrance into the adjacent, dual-aspect dining room, which has a charming aesthetic and (like the living area) an oversized window framing garden views. This additional reception space is the perfect size for dinner parties and family meals, yet it also offers flexibility allowing buyers to use the room as they see fit.
Kitchen – A well-appointed kitchen and utility room
The kitchen has a large footprint to accommodate a table and chairs, alongside a fantastic selection of cabinets and ample worksurface space. It features dual-aspect windows for a light-filled cooking environment and it comes with a range of integrated appliances. Neutral décor and a timber-panelled ceiling complete the space. Next door, there is a utility room, with further storage, and a rear porch which leads out into the garden.
Bedrooms – Five large and versatile bedrooms
Extending off a naturally-lit landing, the four main bedrooms are upstairs on the first floor. Each room is a bright and spacious double with generous built-in wardrobe storage. Furthermore, the principal and second bedrooms both benefit from dual-aspect windows as well, whilst bedrooms three and four have additional built-in storage. A fifth double bedroom is easily accessible on the ground floor, providing a versatile space that can be used as a home office, if required.
Bathrooms – A four-piece bathroom and three-piece shower room
Conveniently, the home has a ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom. The three-piece shower room, with white tiles and blue décor, features a toilet, a pedestal washbasin, and a shower cubicle. The bathroom, on the other hand, has a four-piece suite and light décor paired with traditional-inspired tiles. It is comprised of similar fixtures, but with the added advantage of a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower enclosure.
Garden & Parking – Incredible gardens for the entire family to enjoy
Externally, the property is flanked by incredible gardens to the front and rear, both of which are carefully landscaped and fully enclosed for the safety of families. Shielded by established hedgerows, the front garden features a patio area and a sweeping lawn, dotted with colourful plants and mature trees. The rear garden is equally impressive, also providing a large lawn and a versatile outbuilding, which has electricity and can be used creatively, such as a studio, a laundry room, or even an office. Both gardens provide excellent privacy and both capture lots of sun throughout the day too. Extensive private parking is also assured thanks to a gated, multi-car driveway and a detached double garage.
