About
Light, tastefully presented and spacious, three-bedroom, traditional double-upper villa, with an exceptionally generous garden plot and driveway.
Positioned at the end of a small, quiet cul-de-sac, located in the established residential village of Whitecraig, near Musselburgh.
A welcoming entrance staircase leads to the upper hall, where a useful storage cupboard and separate utility cupboard provide practical everyday storage.
Positioned to the front, the generous living and dining room offers a bright and comfortable living space, complete with carpeted flooring, a built-in cupboard, and a wall-mounted TV point.
Set just off the living room, the well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, stone-effect worktops with matching upstands, a sink with drainer, an integrated oven and gas hob, a fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher.
To the rear, a spacious double bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and carpeted flooring. Completing this level is a shower room featuring a rainfall shower.
The upper floor hosts two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with carpeted flooring, alongside the family bathroom, which is fitted with a three-piece suite.
