The property

21ST AUGUST AT 12 NOON Beautifully upgraded and extended by its current owner, 2 Silverknowes Terrace offers an inviting, homely ambiance with tasteful decor and quality fittings throughout. Set on a corner plot, a pedestrian gate to the front of the property gives access to the beautifully landscaped garden. A path leads to the front door, opening into a light-filled vestibule, which in turn gives access to a reception hallway. Set at the rear of the property with French doors to the suntrap garden, is the living room. A door connects it directly to the dining area, which is semi-open plan with the dual-aspect kitchen. Fitted with quality units framed by granite worktops and integrated lighting, the breakfasting kitchen boasts a Belfast sink, NEFF appliances and incorporated space for an American-style fridge/freezer. Set at the front of the property is a large formal dining room with front garden views from its bay window. Arranged around a feature living flame gas fire, this generous reception room is ideal for large family gatherings and entertaining. Set opposite, is a delightful conservatory with garden views and a door leading the rear. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a rear hall (fitted with a cupboard) leading to a shower room and giving access to the outdoors. Upstairs, a brightly lit landing leads to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom; the rear bedroom benefits from large mirrored wardrobes. Servicing the bedrooms is a family bathroom. A hatch and Ramsey-ladder from the landing leads to a partially floored loft. The house benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Externally, in addition to the front garden with lawns and colourful planting, the corner plot allows for two further outdoor spaces: leading directly from the living room’s French doors is a sunny southwest-facing patio garden. Landscaped with a decked patio, this colourful potted garden comes with two handy sheds and direct access to the single garage. The second outdoor space is a large drive, accessed from Lauriston Farm Road, leading to a garage with an electric door, colourful planting, a small decked area, and rear access to the house.
