The property

SOLD-SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES Part of a purpose built two-storey property with warm stone facade; the villa is set back from the road behind a private paved drive enclosed by colourful flower borders. The smart front door leads, via a handy vestibule, to the long central reception hall, with doors to the main rooms radiating invitingly to either side. To the left, the living room immediately draws the eye towards a deep south facing bay window. Generous proportions allow for a varied seating configuration, whilst a gas fire set within a tiled hearth provides a warming focal point. The stunning, recently installed, kitchen is elegantly appointed with modern floor and wall mounted Shaker-style units, incorporating an impressive range of integrated appliances. Soft grey tones with contrasting solid oak worktops are offset by smart red metro tiled splashbacks. From here, fully glazed double doors flow through to the second reception room with practical wood floors and ample space for seating and dining furniture. The room is lit by two full walls of windows and a glazed door, creating an airy atmosphere and direct link to the rear garden. The two double bedrooms reflect the other beautifully proportioned living accommodation. These share a stylish shower room incorporating a modern three-piece-suite, with shower cubicle incorporating a luxurious rainfall shower, a tiled floor, fresh white gloss vanity unit and contrasting grey decor. A useful storage cupboard, located off the hall, completes the accommodation. The apartment benefits from year-round warmth provided by double glazing and gas central heating (installed 2016). Outside, to the front is ample parking for three cars. The private rear garden has colourful borders of mature shrubs and herbaceous planting, and there is a useful large storage shed. It is paved for easy maintenance and is ideal for relaxing and alfresco dining. Nestled between expansive woodland areas, various golf courses, a marina and a sandy beach at nearby Cramond, yet only 5 miles from the city centre, it is not hard to find why Barnton is one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after residential areas. The area boasts outstanding outdoor and nature trails at Hillwood Park, along the River Almond, beach walks at Cramond and Cramond Island and at Cammo Estate Park. The surrounding area conveniently offers a variety of shops (including the newly built Parkgrove Shopping Centre). For more substantial shopping, the nearby Hermiston Gait and the Gyle Shopping centres offer a wide range of High Street stores and restaurants. Schooling is very well catered for from nursery to secondary level with both primary and secondary schools within walking distance. Transport facilities are excellent in the area with regular bus services taking you to and from the City Centre and beyond. It is also well positioned for access to the Airport, Forth Road Bridge, City Bypass and the M8 to Glasgow. Home Report £285,000 EPC:D
