The property

Characterised by appealing proportions, a desirable semi-open-plan layout and extensive private gardens, this traditional three-bedroom detached house offers a fantastic family home with tremendous scope for development. The house further benefits from private, off-street parking in the form of a detached single garage/workshop. Occupying a large plot on leafy Clerwood Park in sought-after Corstorphine, the house can be approached via a pedestrian footpath and enjoys an elevated position behind the substantial southwest-facing front garden. The front door opens into a sunny entrance hall with a useful under-stair cupboard. On the right, the spacious living room is flooded with light from wide southwest-facing windows and at the focal point of the room is a traditional fireplace equipped with a living-flame gas fire. The living room flows into the light and airy dining room, which provides flexible scope for a generous dining table perfect for family meals and entertaining. The dual-aspect kitchen adjacent is lined with fitted cabinets and worktops, including a bank of tall pantry cupboards. This leaves ample space for a selection of freestanding kitchen appliances. From here the back door allows access to the well-tended rear garden, which accommodates the detached single garage and a secure gate onto Clerwood Park. Continuing upstairs onto the sunny landing, here there are two good-sized double bedrooms with extensive fitted wardrobes and a built-in cupboard respectively; the generous single bedroom also incorporates a built-in cupboard. Completing the accommodation is the three-piece bathroom, which would now benefit from modernisation. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. Extras: all fitted carpets and floor coverings, light fixtures and curtains to be included in the sale. The house is enveloped by vast private gardens, including an enclosed rear garden/drying green and a magnificent southwest-facing front garden. The front garden is afforded outstanding privacy, security and seclusion by established hedges, and has been carefully cultivated over the years to include a manicured lawn dotted with mature shrubs and trees. The gardens also accommodate a greenhouse and a detached single garage/workshop. This is supplemented with ample, unrestricted on-street parking. EPC Rating: D.
