The property

Sold Stc This well-presented, south-facing, semi-detached house offers neutral interior design and contemporary accommodation. Furthermore, it currently has the option for a two-storey extension, with architect plans and planning permission. Inside, the front door opens to a naturally-lit hall with under-stair storage. On the left is the living/dining room, which spans the depth of the home. Here, pale décor and wood-toned flooring create a comfortable environment, whilst the spacious dimensions form a well-zoned lounge and dining area. Dual-aspect glazing, including a south-facing picture window and patio doors to the garden, floods the room in warm sunlight. Next door, the modern kitchen comes well appointed with timber-toned cabinets and down-lit work surfaces, framed by multi-coloured splashbacks, and is replete with appliances. Completing the ground floor is a secluded study, which sees lots of natural light. Upstairs, the naturally-lit landing connects to the two double bedrooms, which are both cosily carpeted and attractively presented. The principal bedroom, to the south-facing front, has built-in storage, whilst the second bedroom enjoys inspiring views towards the Forth Bridges. Finishing the home is a bright bathroom with a modern three piece suite and overhead shower. Recently-installed gas central heating, via a Hive system and Worcester Bosch combi boiler, and double-glazed windows ensure outstanding comfort. In addition to a front garden, there is a large, enclosed rear garden, beautifully landscaped with a sweeping lawn, planting beds, and a patio for summer dining.
