About
Fantastic opportunity to acquire this rarely available and generously proportioned three-bedroom detached bungalow, ideally positioned within a quiet pocket of the sought-after village of Balerno.
Close to excellent amenities, transport links, and reputable schooling at both primary and secondary level, the property offers an ideal home for growing families, while also presenting excellent potential for buyers to put their own stamp on.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance vestibule, leading into a central hallway with a double cloak cupboard and a further cupboard housing the boiler (upgraded in 2024).The lounge is bright and spacious, centred around a gas fireplace, and flows seamlessly into a lovely conservatory/sun room which enjoys a bright triple aspect.
The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated white goods, complemented by partial panelling in splash areas with matching worktops, along with under-unit and in-cabinet lighting.
There is a good amount of storage and workspace throughout.
A separate dining room provides further flexibility, with a rear aspect, a breakfast hatch from the kitchen, and additional access into the lounge. There are three generously sized double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is quietly positioned to the rear and benefits from a cupboard and en suite, fitted with a shower, partial tiling/panelling, and a heated towel rail.
Bedroom two is a good-sized front-facing double with an integrated double wardrobe, while bedroom three is another sizeable front-facing double, also featuring an integrated double wardrobe.
All bedrooms offer ample space for freestanding furniture and flexible configurations.
The main bathroom is fitted with a shower over bath and finished with partial tiling and panelling, along with a heated towel rail. Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing.
Externally, the property enjoys charming, mature private gardens. The rear garden features a patio, greenhouse, pond, and well-stocked borders with plants and shrubs, enclosed by hedging.
To the front, the garden is designed for low maintenance with chip stone. A double garage with electric door and a driveway provide superb off-street parking.
