About
Impressive and beautifully presented three-bedroom lower villa, forming the entire ground floor of a traditional 1930s detached residence and enjoying an enviable position in the heart of highly sought-after Corstorphine.
Combining generous proportions, attractive period character and a particularly versatile layout, the property offers an excellent family home within easy walking distance of St John’s Road and the many amenities of Corstorphine Village.
A bright southerly aspect ensures an abundance of natural light, complemented by attractive views towards the Pentland Hills. A particular highlight is the exceptional outdoor space.
Larger-than-average private gardens extend to both the front and rear and have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a choice of seating, dining and entertaining areas which enjoy the sun throughout much of the day.
The rear garden is especially private and secluded, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor dining and relaxation.
Rare for a property of this type, a private two-car driveway leads to a substantial garage with power and lighting, providing secure parking, excellent storage or useful workshop space.
Internally, the accommodation is spacious, well planned and attractively presented, with period features retained or sympathetically renewed wherever possible.
The property has also been extended to the side to create an additional double bedroom and stylish shower room, adding further flexibility for family living, guests or home working.
Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and excellent storage. The accommodation comprises: • Welcoming entrance hall providing access throughout the principal accommodation.
• Elegant bay-windowed living room enjoying excellent natural light, with a traditional fireplace forming an attractive focal point.
• Generously proportioned formal dining room with feature fireplace and direct access to the breakfasting kitchen.
• Well-appointed breakfasting kitchen fitted with Shaker-style units, complementary laminate worktops with inset sink, breakfast bar and a range of appliances including a range-style gas cooker, together with direct access to the private rear garden.
• Three well-proportioned double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living, guests or home working.
• Traditionally styled shower room with tongue-and-groove panelling, WC, wash basin and shower enclosure with contemporary multi-panel surround.
• Additional shower room conveniently serving the extended bedroom accommodation.
The property benefits from particularly generous private gardens to both the front and rear, an especially appealing feature for a lower villa.
The gardens have been attractively landscaped to create a variety of areas for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining, with the southerly aspect allowing the grounds to capture the sun for much of the day.
The enclosed rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion and provides a particularly appealing extension to the living accommodation during the warmer months.
Adding considerably to the property’s appeal is the excellent private parking provision.
A driveway provides off-street parking for two cars and leads to a substantial private garage with power and lighting – an unusual and valuable advantage for a property of this type, offering secure parking together with excellent storage or workshop space.
