The property

20TH OCTOBER AT 12 NOON. HOME REPORT AVAILABLE FROM ESPC WEB SITE. This spacious brick-built 1930’s semi-detached villa (97sqm) is currently only suitable as a cash buy at this stage but on completion of the foundation stability is expected to be worth around £300,000. It is believed that many years ago there was a large escape of water from the drains to the rear of the property which caused the reduction of the soil's load-bearing capacity (the adjacent detached was also similarly affected but was repaired under insurance in 2012). As a result nnumber 14 suffered part subsidence and distortion on the western gable which requires remedial works. A qualified structural engineer has proposed a solution to rectify the problem by means of minor demolition, a specialist resin injection underpinning technique, wall restraint straps (structural ties) and Soil Stabilisation Measures. The estimated budget for the project has been costed by a Building Surveyor over £100,000. There is a south-facing living/dining room with wide patio doors, rear sun porch extension and fitted kitchen on the ground floor. Two double bedrooms, the single bedroom and a modern shower room (previously a bathroom) are found upstairs. There is a large loft offering additional storage space. A burglar alarm system is installed. Gas central heating is complemented by Everest double glazed replacement windows. The property has an enclosed garden to front with a gated paviour driveway leading to the integral single garage (electronic door). The south-facing rear garden is very sunny and designed for ease of maintenance. A large communal playing area beyond the rear boundary is available for use. The property forms part of a small almost ‘hideaway’ residential development comprising a pleasant mixture of only 44 houses and bungalows. It is set back from London Road (A1) and is only minutes away from Brunstane Rail Station. This is a popular district allows very ready access to major stores at The Jewel and Fort Kinnaird. For commuters, Princes Street is merely 5 miles away and an excellent bus service operates. The fitted carpets, curtains, cooker and blinds are included in the sale price. The property has been valued at £110,000 and the Home Report is available via the ESPC web site. The property is not suitable for mortgage purposed in its current condition. It lies in Council Tax band E and has an D rated Energy performance certificate Telephone Agents 0131 229 3399 (075958 20611 out with office hours).
