10 Cambridge Gardens, Edinburgh, EH6 5DJ

The property

This surprisingly spacious mid terraced villa forms part of a handsome row of similarly styled houses, originally constructed around the end of the nineteenth century. Arranged over three floors, the well-presented interior is full of character, displaying plain and decorative cornice work, sanded and sealed timber flooring, and a lovely central staircase with its natural oak balustrade, lit by a large rectangular cupola. Offering three generous reception rooms, and potentially five bedrooms, together with a well fitted kitchen, an attractive bathroom and additional shower room, this is an excellent family home which has been sympathetically modernised and tastefully decorated throughout. In addition to the lovely bay windowed sitting room and rear facing dining room, there is a fantastic family room within the lower level which makes a great TV room, or the perfect ‘teenager's den'. The property also benefits from gas fired central heating, and double glazed windows with PVC frames. Several rear facing rooms overlook the adjacent allotments towards Pilrig Park to the north-west. The popular Pilrig district lies to the north east of the city centre, only a short distance from Edinburgh's Georgian New Town, within easy reach of Princes Street, Waverly Station and many well know landmarks. This convenient position affords easy access to many commercial facilities including a wide range of shops on Leith Walk, restaurants, cinemas and bars. Of particular note are The Omni Leisure Centre, John Lewis and The St James Centre (presently undergoing renovation), the Playhouse Theatre, and Ocean Terminal. Regular bus services within the surrounding area connect with many parts of the city, and both primary and secondary schooling is within easy striking distance. The lovely tree-lined Pilrig Park lies close to the property, offering safe play areas, a football pitch, and open spaces for the public to walk and exercise their dogs. Cambridge Gardens is a quiet cul-de-sac linked to Cambridge Avenue, which runs in an east to west direction, with access from Balfour Street. Number 10 sits on the north-west side of the street. There is a small area of ground to the front of the property which has been landscaped for easy maintenance. To the rear, overlooking the adjacent allotments is a fully enclosed terrace laid with slabs and cobbles, which can enjoy sunshine during the later hours of the day in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months. Here you will also find two useful under building store rooms, and a lean-to aluminium greenhouse. Cambridge Gardens and several surrounding streets enjoy unrestricted parking.
