3 bed first floor flat for sale in Shandon

Property highlight: Spacious first floor flat providing family-sized accommodation in ever popular Shandon

With all three bedrooms doubles, there's no need to worry about additions to the family necessitating the upheaval of a move - and the secluded back green and proximity to Harrison Park provide ready scope for the release of youthful energy. Stripped wooden internal doors and a feature working fireplace are a welcome nod to tradition, while the more modern innovations of gas central heating and double glazing keep the rest of the flat cosy. The hall gives access to all rooms. No less than three walk-in cupboards provide excellent storage. The fireplace is the striking focal point of the lounge and the flickering flames can be enjoyed from a number of angles, given the options the generous dimensions provide for the placing of soft furnishings. The bay window comfortably takes a table and chairs allowing for everyday and more formal dining. Ornaments and family photographs can be safely displayed above the reach of small people's hands on the higher of the very handy five open shelves. The main bedroom is to the rear and its window offers a view towards Corstorphine Hill. There is more than enough space for freestanding furniture, but there are also two traditional presses and a large fitted wardrobe. The other two bedrooms are to the front and shouldn't provoke sibling rivalry when it comes to size. Both offer plenty of space for the child of any age in which to rest and play (and, when it comes to school, even homework). A full range of kitchen units provide plenty of worktop and storage space, while a shelved recess and deep walk-in cupboard provide even more of the latter. The washer/dryer and dishwasher are included in the price, but not the fridge. The bathroom has a three-piece suite with a thermostatic mixer shower (with rainfall head and hand shower) over the bath. Outside, there is a well-maintained back green providing secure play space for younger occupants. The shed belonging to the owners is included in the price. Harrison Park has been mentioned, but pleasant walks can also be enjoyed along the Union Canal. There are local shops within walking distance, but branches of the major supermarkets can all be reached by car. It's easy to get to and from the city centre, as well as to the pubs and restaurants of Gorgie, Dalry, Bruntsfield and Morningside.
