About
McEwan Fraser is delighted to present this striking and characterful period house, which is offered to the market chain free and represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase a part of Edinburgh's history.
Beloved and lived in by the same family for over 40 years, Brooklyn Cottage was built around 1810 on fertile farmland.
The property offers views of the back of Arthur's Seat and is situated in Restalrig Village, a Conservation Area with several other historically significant buildings.
Offering generous living space and up to four bedrooms, the property is neutrally decorated and offers an exciting blank canvas for a buyer who is keen to make their mark on their new home.
Brooklyn Cottage recently had a brand new full central heating system installed.
It boasts adjoining outbuildings and attic space offering significant storage room or great potential for a new buyer to expand into.
The sale of the property includes a private garden up to the fence/walled boundaries visible.
The garden contains artefacts from the period when the cottage was used in farming and was formerly an Orchard.
Entering the property, there are three bedrooms and a living room directly off the central hallway. All rooms are neutrally finished and offer huge flexibility to an incoming purchaser.
The living is naturally bright and boasts plenty of floor space that would give a new owner plenty of flexibility to create their ideal entertaining space.
Moving downstairs, there is a further large room with an en-suite bathroom, a dining kitchen with plenty of prep and storage space, and a contemporary shower room.
Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, and a large attic space offering superb storage space.
Externally, the property has an enclosed rear garden which is beautifully presented.
