About
A substantial linked detached villa, which has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded to create a superb family home, offering bright, spacious and flexible accommodation.
The property further benefits from private front and rear gardens, a garage and a driveway, enhancing both its practicality and appeal.
Quietly positioned within the sought after district of Currie, it enjoys an excellent balance of peaceful suburban living, highly regarded schooling, local amenities and convenient access into Edinburgh and beyond.
You are welcomed into a hallway with useful understair storage, and moving directly to the rear of the property, you'll find what is undoubtedly a standout feature of the home - the impressive lounge/dining/family room.
This superb space is filled with natural light, enhanced by skylights and sliding patio doors which open directly onto the garden, while a wood burning stove adds a warm focal point, making it ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining.
Steps lead down to the stylish dining kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units complemented by coordinated quartz worktops.
There is a door providing access to the side of the property, along with a practical pantry cupboard which is plumbed for a washing machine.
To the front, a versatile additional room with a gas fire offers excellent flexibility as either a sitting room or fourth bedroom and completing the ground floor accommodation is a contemporary shower room, with overhead rainfall shower.
Carpeted stairs lead to the first floor, where there are three well proportioned double bedrooms.
One benefits from built-in wardrobes and another features a built-in storage cupboard, while the front facing rooms enjoy attractive open views.
There is also a fully tiled family bathroom fitted with a white suite and an electric shower over the bath.
From the landing, a Ramsay ladder provides access to a floored attic space, offering excellent additional storage.
The property has gas central heating with hot water tank, along with underfloor heating in the hall and dining kitchen, and double glazing.
You are welcomed to the property by a neat paved front garden, while to the rear lies a charming, fully enclosed garden with a lawn and patio area.
Framed by mature trees, established shrubs, colourful planting and landscaped rockery, it enjoys a high degree of privacy and forms an especially attractive setting for relaxing or dining during the warmer months.
A superb addition is the garden room, which benefits from full fibre internet connectivity, power, lighting and an electric heater.
Bi-fold doors open onto a decked area, creating an excellent vantage point to take in the far reaching open views across the city towards the bridges and Fife.
There is a garage with up and over door, power and light, along with an internal door leading to a utility room which is plumbed for a washing machine and also accessible from the garden.
A large driveway provides convenient off street parking, with generous space for two vehicles parked comfortably alongside each other.
There is also an additional shed for storage outside the kitchen in front of the garage. Council Tax Band - F Viewing By appt through Neilsons EPC Rating EPC rating: D
