The property

Set within a modern development on the edge of East Linton, this three-bedroom detached villa promises not only an immaculate family home with private gardens and off-street parking, but also comes with planning permission in place for significant development. Single-storey extensions to the front and rear would reconfigure the ground floor to include an open-plan kitchen/living/dining space, a separate utility room, a shower room/WC, a vestibule and covered porch, while a loft conversion would add a fourth bedroom. The property is just five minutes' walk from East Linton Primary School via a pedestrian footpath and is also conveniently placed for village amenities. Tucked towards the end of the cul-de-sac, the property sits behind a tandem driveway bordered by neat lawns and instantly appeals with its natural stone façade, sandstone trims and pantile roof. Welcoming you inside is an entrance hall with the integral single garage/utility on the left and the kitchen on the right. This south-facing room is lined with contemporary gloss-white handleless cabinetry and marble-look worktops, and is replete with an integrated induction hob, double oven/grill, extractor hood and fridge freezer. There is space for an undercounter dishwasher, while separate laundry facilities are provided in the integral garage/utility. At the end of the hall, a glazed door opens into the living/dining room, which extends onto the rear patio via sliding doors - ideal for dining and entertaining al fresco in the warmer months. Stretching the entire width of the property, this large reception room allows flexible scope for various configurations and from here a staircase curves up to the first-floor landing, which accommodates an airing cupboard and a loft hatch. All three bedrooms (two doubles and a generous single) incorporate built-in wardrobes, with the master bedroom enjoying a walk-through dressing area leading to the contemporary en-suite shower room. Designed to match the en-suite, the three-piece family bathroom comprises a rainfall shower-over-bath with a glazed screen, a wall-mounted vanity basin and a close-coupled toilet. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating ensure year-round home comfort and efficiency. The rear garden features a neat patio, a lawn with herbaceous borders and a sunny gravelled area housing a useful garden shed. Fully enclosed for privacy and peace of mind, the garden can also be reached from the front via a secure side gate. The tandem driveway comfortably accommodates three cars and is supplemented with ample onstreet parking. Extras: all fitted floor coverings, curtains and blinds to be included in the sale; dishwasher may be available by negotiation
