The property

Occupying the first and second floors, this main-door double-upper flat is a deceptively large four/five-bedroom home, with stylish interiors finished to high standards throughout. It offers bright and spacious rooms, as well as excellent versatility and generous built-in storage. Furthermore, it has two bathrooms, a private balcony, and a wonderful private garden. Set on a no-through road, the property also has a highly desirable location in leafy green Colinton. Reached via a small flight of steps, the home's private front door opens to stairs leading up to the first-floor hall, which instantly establishes the interior's impeccable standards. In the living room, chic feature wall paper creates an eye-catching aesthetic that is sophisticated and inviting. The room is generously proportioned, and brightly illuminated by a bay window and kept cosy by a wall-mounted fireplace with a realistic living flame. From here, a glazed door opens out to a private balcony that is sheltered – perfect for morning coffee with a sunrise. A spacious dining room provides a second reception area, enjoying sumptuous blue décor and white detailing divided by a picture rail. It provides two built-in cupboards and the versatility to be used as a fifth bedroom, if required. Meanwhile, the breakfasting kitchen accommodates another table and chairs. It has a generous range of cabinets in sage green, along with solid granite worksurfaces. It houses a Belfast sink, an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and microwave, and an Aga range cooker. The four bedrooms are divided equally between the first and second floors. They are comprised of three spacious doubles with built-in wardrobes and a versatile single (with a built-in wardrobe) that is currently organised as a private office. All four rooms maintain the keen eye for detail, including the large principal bedroom which has elegant styling, a picture rail, and a focal-point fireplace. Serving the bedrooms is a quality first-floor bathroom, with a double-ended bathtub, and a contemporary second-floor shower room. The property has gas central heating, via a new boiler installed last year (still with a 7-year service guarantee) and double glazing throughout. Outside, the home has a fully-enclosed rear garden that is beautifully landscaped, incorporating a charming decked area, a neat lawn, and a magical section, framed by mature and colourful plants. Parking in the area is on street and unrestricted. Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings (except living room curtains), light fittings, integrated appliances, and an Aga cooker to be included in the sale.
