The property

Located within one of Edinburgh's most sought after streets is this rarely available detached house. The property sits on a generous plot with well-tended front and rear gardens, driveway and attached garage. With predominately double glazed windows and gas central heating (new boiler installed January 2022) the house does require some upgrading but offers bright and spacious accommodation and excellent potential. The accommodation includes an entrance vestibule with tiled floor and stained glass door and window which leads to the spacious hallway with storage cupboard and wood floor. The good sized lounge has a large bay window to the front and gas fire with tiled surround. There is a spacious dining room with fireplace, cupboard and patio doors which lead out to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units with window to side and 2 shelved cupboards. There is a fridge and washing machine and a gas supply for a cooker to be installed. A rear hallway off the kitchen gives access to a large store room with window and 3 cupboards, 1 of which leads to an air raid shelter. Completing the ground floor accommodation there are two large double bedrooms and a cloakroom with two piece white suite. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms, a box room with skylight window and a bathroom with 3 piece white with shower over the bath. Externally there is a garden to the front which is mainly laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs and a driveway provides off street parking. The garage has an up and over door and houses the central heating boiler. The good sized rear garden is again mainly laid to lawn and is fully enclosed to provide a safe play area. With the aim of appealing to potential restorers, modernisers and developers alike, the current owners have applied for planning permission to replace the current property with a 4 bedroom contemporary dwelling house offering energy efficient spacious, light and airy accommodation over 2 floors. Also included within the plans is a separate garden room ideal for leisure or home working. The application has cleared pre-planning and awaits decision anticipated in August 2022 and plans can be viewed via City of Edinburgh Council website on the following link https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/planning using the reference 22/02279/FUL Copy plans can also be sent to any interested parties. Properties of this type within the sought after Ravelston area are rare to the market and therefore early viewing is highly recommended. Ravelston is a highly desirable residential area to the west of the city. Located around 15 minutes from the city centre, Ravelston perfectly blends leafy suburban living with excellent access to the city and beyond. Roseburn, Stockbridge and Corstorphine are all close by with a range of shops, bars and restaurants. The property is particularly well suited for access to a number of private schools including St. George's, Stewarts Melville/Mary Erskine, Fettes College and The Edinburgh Academy. There are excellent transport links to the city bypass, Edinburgh Airport and motorway network as well regular bus services.
