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

Situated within an established modern development in Gilmerton, the property offers four bedrooms, well-proportioned living spaces and a south-east-facing rear private garden.
The generous dual-aspect sitting room lies to the front of the property, providing a warm and welcoming space in which to relax.
Herringbone-pattern wood flooring adds a stylish finishing touch, complementing the room's comfortable proportions.
To the rear, the large south-east-facing kitchen and dining room is flooded with natural light and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden.

There is ample space at the other end of the room for a dining table and chairs, while patio doors open directly onto the garden, making this a practical space for everyday living and entertaining.
A utility room is situated off the kitchen and has space for washing machine and tumble dryer. A convenient WC and separate storage area complete the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a particularly appealing space, with a front-facing outlook, built-in mirrored wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room finished with marble-effect tiling and a large rainfall shower.
Bedrooms two and three are currently arranged as bedrooms, with bedroom two benefiting from fitted wardrobes.
The fourth bedroom is presently used as a dressing room and features bespoke Sharps fitted wardrobes.

Externally, the front garden is complemented by a monobloc driveway and garage. The private rear garden enjoys a south-easterly aspect, with a lawn bordered by a charming mix of plants and shrubs.
