1 Greenhill Terrace, Edinburgh, EH10 4BS

Entrance Vestibule

3.35 m X 3.05 m / 11'0" X 10'0"

The outer door is beneath an imposing portico and opens to a spacious reception area with Veitchi flooring and the first of the decorative cornicework. The generous dimensions are accentuated by the glazed upper section of the inner door and its glazed side panels. There is also a transom light over the entrance door. A large cupboard houses the electricity meters, and its top is a perfect resting place for unopened mail. Pendant light fitting. Burglar alarm control panel. Telephone point. Single power point.

Outer Hallway

4.24 m X 2.01 m / 13'11" X 6'7"

The flooring extends through from the vestibule, and there is more of the cornicework. The stair to the first floor lies to the left and has attractive balusters and a wooden handrail. A cupboard under the stair provides handy storage. Pendant light fitting. Smoke alarm. Radiator. Single power point.

Drawing Room

7.82 m X 4.93 m / 25'8" X 16'2"

There is also a second window set in a box bay to the side. Open shelves with double cupboard below. Pendant light fitting. Four double power points.

Inner Hallway

A cupboard houses a hot water tank and circuit breakers, as well as providing a large storage area. A flight of stairs with a curve at the foot leads to what might in former times have been the maid’s room, but now provides secluded and spacious accommodation that could also keep teenage music well away from the delicate parental ear.

Dining Room

4.06 m X 3.07 m / 13'4" X 10'1"

With its window set in a small bay looking out to the back garden, this makes a pleasant area for everyday eating. Tiled floor. Fluorescent ceiling lighting. Smoke alarm. Radiator. Three double power points.

Kitchen

5.94 m X 3.78 m / 19'6" X 12'5"

As for the property in general, here in particular is a modernisation and upgrade opportunity in the making. The wall and floor units are not unattractive with their wood veneer surfaces and chrome handles, but were they to be replaced, there is plenty of space to be taken advantage of to create a cooking and working area to current tastes and requirements. The existing appliances comprise two Whirlpool upright fridges, a Trinity Tiara four ring cooker, oven and grill, Bosch washing machine, Servis freezer and a De Longhi microwave. A deep cupboard has wooden wall shelves, and perhaps lends itself to the laying down of the odd suitable bottle or two. There are two doors to the outside, one to the back garden and the other to the path that runs round the side of the property. There is also a window to the side set in a wooden frame above the sink. Wall-mounted central heating boiler. Radiator.
