About
A distinctive and substantial detached family home occupying a generous plot with mature gardens to the front, side and rear, a detached double garage and extensive driveway, offering spacious and highly versatile accommodation in the heart of sought-after Corstorphine, close to excellent schools, local amenities and superb transport links.
Combining generous living space, impressive future potential and a highly desirable location, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile family home in one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential areas.
The property retains a wealth of period character, including impressive ceiling heights creating a wonderful sense of space throughout, attractive feature windows, timber panelled doors and ornate fireplaces.
Positioned side-on within the plot, the house is approached via a sheltered west-facing veranda leading to a spacious vestibule and welcoming reception hallway with excellent built-in storage.
The elegant principal reception room features a box bay window with built-in window seat, a marble fireplace and attractive period detailing.
A second generous reception room to the front is currently arranged as a dining/family room but offers flexibility as a fifth double bedroom if required.
The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear garden and is complemented by a practical rear hallway with additional storage housing the recently upgraded boiler and providing direct garden access.
There are two generous double bedrooms on the ground floor, one with an en-suite shower room, together with a large family bathroom.
Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, with the front bedroom enjoying wonderful open views towards the Pentland Hills.
The property benefits from gas central heating from a new boiler installed in 2024 and double glazing.
Externally, the large mature gardens wrap around the property and incorporate lawns, patio areas, established trees and well-stocked flower and shrub borders, creating an attractive and private setting.
Enclosed by gates, they provide a safe environment for children and pets while offering excellent scope to extend the property, subject to the necessary consents.
A generous driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the detached double garage, complete with an up-and-over door, pedestrian side access, power and lighting.
