1 Considine Gardens, Edinburgh, EH8 7DZ

The property

Occupying a prime end plot, 1 Considine Gardens instantly sets a traditional tone with its heritage-style sash windows and a reproduction 1930s front door. Welcoming you inside is a bright and airy hall which flows into the open-plan living room and dining room. Stretching the full depth of the property, the living room is flooded in light from a south-facing bay window to the front and patio style doors to the rear. At the focal point of the living room is a charming working fireplace, while the dining room easily accommodates a family-sized table and fitted storage. The kitchen is furnished with classic-cream Shaker cabinetry topped with timber work surfaces, and houses a Rangemaster dual-fuel cooker with a coordinating hood. Upstairs the property features two exceptionally bright and spacious double bedrooms. The rear-facing bedroom in particular boasts stunning northerly views. Completing the accommodation is the contemporary bathroom. Accessed from the hall the substantial cellar is currently used as a handy utility room and storage area, and benefits from a back door to the garden. The cellar may allow scope to create another reception room or a third bedroom with en-suite facilities, subject to consent. Gas central heating and double-glazed sash windows ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. The south-facing front garden is bound by established hedges and features a neat lawn and flowering hydrangea. From here a side path leads round to the enclosed rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and can also be accessed from the cellar. Unrestricted on-street parking is available directly adjacent to the property. Willowbrae lies East of the city centre and offers a choice of amenities including a Morrisons supermarket at Piershill and a Sainsburys supermarket at nearby Meadowbank Retail Park. Princes Street and the Waverley train station are easily accessible by car or public transport. Leisure facilities include a number of bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Schooling is well represented from nursery to senior level, with the property falling within the catchment for Parsons Green Primary and Portobello High School. There is an efficient public transport network operating to most parts of the town and surrounding areas. The city by-pass and main motorway networks are within easy reach.
