This property is located in highly sought after Duddingston, some 3 miles east of Edinburgh's centre and only 1/2 mile from the city's "seaside village by the sea", Portobello. The nearby amenities are plentiful including shops literally up the road for every day needs, whilst a little further, to a wide selection on the bustling Portobello High Street (15 mins walk), including an Aldi; the long established Asda Hypermarket is 1 mile to the south. The huge Fort Kinnaird Shopping & leisure complex is also handy. Regular buses pass by heading into town and out of town travelling to East Lothian and the coast. The area boasts several parks, including the delightful Figgate Park, golf courses and other leisure options, whilst the seafront itself at Portobello & Joppa is only a short distance away.

Motorists can quickly access the by-pass which leads on to all the major roads. All in all, residents here enjoy a super lifestyle. The house itself comprises a most attractive DETACHED BUNGALOW dating from the 1930's and occupying a nice position with an enclosed sunny, south facing garden. It has been the subject of considerable modernisation in recent times involving redesign and fitting of the kitchen & bathroom. The attic was converted many years ago to create two bedrooms; there is further scope here to include a bathroom or shower, subject to LA permissions; indeed, the rear garden is so spacious that any extension to the rear would not compromise the scale of the garden at all. The rooms are bright and airy and beautifully presented. There is double glazing, gas central heating and fitted floor coverings. An Extra large garage and drive complete the package.
