The property

Sold Stc An extended, three-bedroom, two-bathroom, semi-detached house in Gilmerton, complete with an attic conversion, a large living room, and a generous breakfasting kitchen. It further boasts well-tended gardens, a multi-car driveway, and a selection of outbuildings. Whilst the property requires a slight modernising touch, it represents an incredibly versatile home with an abundance of potential. Inside, the front door opens directly into a spacious living room that sees lots of natural light from a large picture window. Offering two built-in cupboards, it is well-proportioned for a wide choice of lounge furniture. Next door, the kitchen has been extended to create a very generous footprint and a utility room. With a sweeping archway and a breakfast peninsula, it comes incredibly well-appointed with light wood-style cabinets and excellent workspace, framed by terracotta-coloured splashbacks. Seamlessly integrated appliances are included (gas hob, eye-level oven/grill, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer). Completing the ground floor is an attractive three-piece shower room with contemporary wet walling. Upstairs, a naturally-lit landing connects to three spacious and airy double bedrooms, which are all presented with timber-inspired flooring. The master bedroom has lilac décor and an open en-suite shower room, whilst bedrooms two and three are decorated in neutral tones. On the second floor, the converted attic adds additional versatility for creative uses, enjoying generous eaves storage and a skylight with magnificent leafy-green views. Gas central heating and double-glazed windows are throughout. In addition to a front garden, the property has a sunny rear garden, with a well-tended lawn and a patio. Furthermore, it offers a fantastic selection of outbuildings (some with electricity) that could be used for various purposes. A gated, multi-car driveway provides off-street parking.
