We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A charming detached traditional bungalow commanding a superb location beside Figgate Park and first class amenities.
This is a particularly spacious and bright home laid out over one level with access to a large floored attic.
Whilst well maintained, the property could now benefit from upgrading, offering any purchaser the opportunity to create a home to their own specification.
As is the case with properties within the immediate vicinity, this property does offer excellent potential for extension into the attic and garage.
(This would be subject to any purchaser obtaining the necessary permissions from the Local Authority.).
A gas fired combination central heating boiler serves panelled radiators throughout and an instant domestic hot water supply, complemented by double glazing, ensuring comfort and economy.
A driveway leads to a single car sized garage with private well tended gardens to the front and rear ensuring a tranquil environment.
Location:Popular with families, the amenities are first class, with St Johns RC primary school on hand, and Portobello High School also within short walking distance.
Of particular note is the stunning parkland and pond of Figgate Park which offers excellent outdoor recreational areas and walks, accessed from Hamilton Drive itself.
There is a golf course, the beach and promenade of Portobello and a Bannatynes Health club at Newcraighall, a little further afield.
Regular bus and a commuter train service from nearby Newcraighall, operate to and from Edinburgh's city centre and the surrounding areas.
A main Asda store and Fort Kinnaird Retail Park are within close proximity.
