The property

Occupying a substantial corner plot on Claremont Road, this end terrace Victorian villa represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a delightful family home with endless scope for modernisation, reconfiguration or extension (subject to relevant consents). Positioned behind wrought-iron railings and a low-maintenance front garden, the traditional storm door swings open to reveal a charming tiled entrance vestibule. The vast living room is dominated by a magnificent bay window and has retained a wealth of period features. The dining room to the rear promises another exceptionally bright and spacious reception room with scope to create a contemporary dining kitchen. Just off the dining room is the well-appointed galley kitchen, which enjoys a southerly aspect and a back door to the garden. The first floor landing is flooded with light from a striking cupola, and provides practical storage in the form of two walk-in cupboards. The front-facing bedroom boasts another handsome bay window and extensive fitted wardrobes/storage, while the rear-facing bedroom features an original Victorian fireplace flanked by a shelved Edinburgh Press. Completing the first floor is the generous single bedroom and the sunny three-piece shower room. The villa benefits from gas central heating and double glazing as well as on-street parking. The villa boasts low-maintenance gardens to the front and side, as well as a vast rear garden. The rear garden has been landscaped to include a patio and an expanse of lawn bordered by mature shrubs. The garden also accommodates a storage shed and an external store. A wide selection of local shops and amenities including a Tesco supermarket (at Leith Walk) are nearby. A selection of nurseries, Leith Primary School and Leith Academy are within a short walk from the property. HOME REPORT £400,000. EPC BAND E.
