The property

With generous proportions, original features and exciting potential for improvement, this traditional two-bedroom lower villa represents a perfect suburban home for professionals, young families or downsizers. The property lies in Colinton: a desirable suburb intersected by the scenic Water of Leith and well connected to the city centre, which is less than five miles away. The home also benefits from private gardens, and access to unrestricted on-street parking. The front door opens into a vestibule flowing through to an inviting central hall providing access to all rooms. Located to the front of the property and extended by a large box window is a living room with ample space for comfortable seating arranged around a gas fire with a stonestyle surround. Fitted display shelving and handy cupboard storage also feature. Across the hall the bright kitchen, with direct access to the garden, requires modernisation but currently comes equipped with fitted cabinetry, workspace, a trio of built-in store cupboards, and a traditional drying pulley. The room would also accommodate a dining area to create a sociable space for relaxed meals and entertaining. The villa also boasts two generous double bedrooms, both complemented by useful cupboard storage. One room is further supplemented by a peaceful rear-facing position. Finally, the bathroom, though in need of updating, is appointed with a toilet, a pedestal basin with a wallmounted vanity cabinet, and a bathtub with an overhead shower and a glazed screen. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure a warm, energy-efficient climate all year round.Externally, the villa's private gardens encompass a gravelled front garden with established planting, and a good-sized rear and side garden including an immaculate bordered lawn and a shed. Unrestricted, on-street parking is available in the vicinity. Rating - D. Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, and light fittings to be included in the sale.
