1 bed semi-detached house for sale in Portobello

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a charming semi detached villa (c1897) pleasantly set within mature private grounds with twin garages in the desirable coastal suburb of Portobello lying east of Edinburgh city centre. This unique home with enhancing features originally formed part of Stanley House, a property of historic local interest which was run as a private school, private nursing home and a church before being transformed for residential use. While now in need of upgrading and decoration, the spacious accommodation provides fantastic scope to restyle the interior. The generous accommodation comprises: entrance vestibule/hall, large bay windowed lounge, delightful conservatory overlooking the rear garden, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, kitchen and bathroom with free standing roll top bath. Gas central heating and partial double glazing have been installed and a particular advantage is the impressive attic room/wc with rear facing window offering superb flexible working space. There are lovely well stocked garden areas to the front, side and rear of the property offering a range of interest and colour with a long side driveway leading to the twin garages. As of February 2022, the law in respect of Smoke / Heat alarms has changed and no warranty is given that the property meets the new tolerable standard.
