The property

Set on a cobbled no-through road in Shandon, in the Slateford (Flowers) colonies conservation area, this traditional main-door double upper villa offers classically-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. The characterful property promises a desirable period home for families and professionals, boasting four/five double bedrooms, two/one reception rooms, and two bathrooms, plus a large garden and private parking. It also offers a prime location, close to excellent local amenities, highly-regarded schooling, and leafy, open parkland. Accessed via a private ground-floor vestibule, with a handy utility area, stairs lead up to a high-ceilinged central hall on the first floor. Accompanied by built-in storage, this welcoming space leads into the living room on the left, which enjoys a sunny, southwest-facing aspect and a wide bay window. It is further enhanced by elaborate cornicing and a ceiling rose, a feature fireplace, and a traditional Edinburgh Press, whilst classical proportions promise a generous setting for lounge furniture and a seated dining area, if desired. Connected by a private passageway, a further reception room (with separate hall access) provides additional, versatile living space or, alternatively, a fifth double bedroom. A kitchen, lit by tall sash windows, offers both casual and formal dining options, with a breakfast bar and space for a dining table and chairs. Neatly integrated within the Shaker-styled cabinetry are an oven and a steamer and microwave combi oven (Neff), along with a gas hob, a concealed extractor fan, a freezer, and a fridge (all Bosch). Finishing this floor, the master bedroom shares the living room's sunny aspect, and is complete with an en-suite bathroom, featuring a bathtub with a rainfall shower, a WC, and a pedestal washbasin. On the upper floor, the three remaining bedrooms enjoy neutral decor and plush carpeting, each echoing the home's classical dimensions. Featuring a large skylight window and matching the style of the en-suite, a family shower room houses a glazed shower cubicle, a WC-suite, and fitted vanity storage. A scullery, with a period feature fireplace, accommodates an integrated oven and a fridge (both Siemens), a microwave and a freestanding dryer, whilst a washing machine is housed in the ground-floor utility area. A handy WC completes the accommodation. Externally, the home is accompanied by generous garden space to the front and side, which are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, and also feature a garden shed and a decked dining terrace. A private parking space is located to the front and on street parking on Myrtle Terrace is conveniently unrestricted.
