The property

Situated within the popular residential area of Colinton Mains and characterised by outstanding proportions and swathes of natural light, this 1950’s two-bedroom upper villa is brimming with stylish interiors and a sought-after attic space offering tremendous scope for conversion (subject to the relevant consents). Sitting on a prime corner plot, this classic bay fronted home boasts a large private south-westerly facing front/side garden, a good-sized rear garden and a shared drying area. Accessed via a pathway, the chic-blue front door opens into an entrance area which features a staircase leading to the welcoming reception hall. Here, there is a convenient store cupboard and a hatch leading to the attic space. At the heart of the home: the spacious lounge is flooded with natural light from double glazed picture windows, which overlook the garden area below. There is ample room for lounge and dining furniture- the perfect setting for modern family life and entertaining - and a handy build-in cupboard provides additional storage. Next door, the light and airy contemporary kitchen is lined with an array of gloss white floor-to-ceiling cabinets, beautiful composite worktops, and is replete with a range of integrated and freestanding appliances. Returning to the hall, and enjoying sunny south-west facing aspects and views of the Pentland Hills, are the two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom features a delightful box bay window and a walk-in closet, and the second bedroom features a storage cupboard. Both rooms offer ample space for bedroom furniture. Completing the accommodation is a modern and airy three-piece bathroom, incorporating a mains-fed shower over bath with a glass shower screen, a wall mounted vanity basin unit, a WC, a wall-hung mirrored cabinet and a chrome ladder radiator. The property benefits from gas central heating and recently draught-proofed double glazing throughout, ensuring a comfortable home all year round. Outside, this delightful upper villa benefits from a vast south-west facing front/side garden with an established hedge and fence for privacy. The garden is host to fruit trees, an herb garden, shrubbery and plants, as well as an insulated shed with a skylight. The private garden to the rear also benefits from an insulated shed with a skylight, a small raised deck (in front of the shed), flower beds (to the left of the shed) and an additional section of ground behind the shed.
