12 Corstorphine Hill Avenue, Edinburgh, EH12 6LE

The property

Behind the classic 1930s facade, 12 Corstorphine Hill Avenue offers an exceptionally bright and spacious home that has been designed and finished to an immaculate standard throughout. Approached from a pretty garden and driveway, the front door opens in to a vestibule, which in turns leads to the spacious hallway with minimalist white walls and striking flooring. The flooring flows into the kitchen, which comprises ash-effect cabinets and white worktops. In addition to a built-in breakfast table and a side door to the garden, the kitchen is replete with integrated and freestanding appliances. To the rear are two south-facing reception rooms: an impressive living room finished in grey and white hues, paired with oak-effect flooring and featuring a wall-mounted electric fire. And a formal dining room which flows into the conservatory via glazed double doors. Owing to its triple aspect, the central-heated conservatory is bathed in sun and yields elevated views across the garden and beyond. Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms (one of which incorporates fitted wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors) and the immaculate three-piece bathroom. Upstairs is the third double bedroom, which benefits from fitted wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors. Also on this level is a large attic – an easily accessible storage space with lighting and power sockets. Additional storage is provided by the substantial cellar, which is accessed externally. Gas central heating and double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. The property boasts a vast, south-facing rear garden. The terraced garden has been landscaped to include a suntrap patio, a manicured lawn, a deck and a barbecue area with a shed. The property further benefits from a single driveway and unrestricted on-street parking directly adjacent. Corstorphine lies 4 miles west of the city centre and provides an excellent range of local amenities including shops, banks, a Post Office, restaurants, pubs, takeaways and a large supermarket. For more extensive shopping, The Gyle Shopping Centre and Hermiston Gait Retail Park are a short drive away. Schooling is well-catered in the area from nursery to secondary, and Edinburgh’s prestigious private schools, Mary Erskine, Stewarts Melville and St George’s both easily accessible. Corstorphine enjoys a good public transport system, with regular buses to and from the City Centre and beyond, and the proximity of the City Bypass, the M8 and the A90 makes commuting by car fast and convenient.
