The property

An opportunity has arisen to purchase a most desirable and well-maintained semidetached bungalow which has been in the ownership of the same family since it was built. This fine property is situated between Colinton and Fairmilehead with Colinton Village offering a variety of local amenities, specialist shops and outlets. In addition, there is a Tesco superstore at Colinton Mains, a Morrisons store at Hunters Tryst and an Aldi store, all within a 10 minute drive, with Morrisons and Aldi within walking distance. A library, Premier Store, news agent/post office, hairdresser and other convenience outlets are also within walking distance. Nursery, primary and secondary schooling can be found within the area whilst Merchiston Castle School, George Watsons College and Napier University are a short bus ride or drive away. The Edinburgh City Bypass Dreghorn Link is within easy reach providing access to Edinburgh International Airport and the central motorway network if travelling north and west and to the A1, A701 and A702 if travelling to the south or the Borders region. Buses 4, 5, 16 and 27 serve this area leading into the City Centre and other parts of the town, with the 400 bus providing a direct link to the airport via The Gyle Shopping Centre. For leisure facilities, there are golf courses and tennis courts within the area and pleasant walks can be enjoyed in Colinton Dell and the nearby Pentland Hills Regional Park. In addition, the Midlothian Snow Sports Centre is 10 minutes away on the No. 4 bus or 5 minutes by car. The house benefits from quality double glazing and a combination gas boiler provides instant hot water and central heating (via thermostatically controlled radiators) throughout the property. A newly installed modern fitted kitchen with appliances, a new modern bathroom, new internal doors, new front door and a full rewire with a modern trip fuse box also creates a safe and desirable family home in this popular location. This delightful family home comprises an entrance vestibule opening into a spacious, sunny south facing lounge with room for a dining table and chairs. There are two double bedrooms and a third bedroom used as a single room. The kitchen is quietly located to the rear of the property as is the bathroom and a bedroom with the other bedrooms to the side and front. The house is set within a maintenance-free front garden with Mediterranean plants and shrubs. A well-established rear garden is laid out to lawn with attractive plant and shrub borders and is complemented by a useful patio area, shed and cellar for storage. A secure, fully enclosed high fenced boundary with a side gate ensures a safe haven for pets. If required, the property has excellent potential to extend due to the large loft space (subject to any necessary planning permission and consents). However, as it stands, it is a most desirable and comfortable home and to appreciate its location and spacious accommodation early viewing is recommended.
