The property
This is a most appealing TERRACED HOUSE, part of a small cul de sac of only a few properties set conveniently for Milton Road (A1) and only 4 miles east of Edinburgh's city centre. The location offers excellent amenities and is desirable due to the school catchments and proximity to the seafront at neighbouring Portobello & Joppa. Hall, Living room; Kitchen, 3 Bedrooms & Bathroom. Gas Central Heating; Double Glazing; Enclosed rear garden. Free on street parking. This section of Magdalene Drive is just round the corner from Milton Road, Edinburgh's main arterial link to East Lothian (A1) on the east fringes of the city, yet only 4 miles from the centre. It is also one of the best areas for local amenities with a host of choices for shopping, whether at the nearby retail complexes of Fort Kinnaird or the lovely traditional shops along the bustling Portobello High Street; or the transport links of regular buses, the city by-pass or even the train stop at Brunstane (5 minute walk ). The recreational options are wide and varied too, with convenient access to parks, golf courses, walks, swimming pools and leisure centres…as well as the seaside along the coast. The new Portobello High school offers state of the art facilities for older kids and the Brunstane Primary school, is adjacent to the house. It is therefore of no surprise that prospective buyers wish to live here. It is well known that former Council Homes such as this, were built to a good standard but not only that, they often offer a spacious spread of rooms not common in today's new build properties. Of course, they offer super value when compared to those at new developments. The current owners have decided to offer the property for sale requiring modernisation, although It has double glazing, gas central heating. Prospective buyers often prefer this anyway and there is huge potential here to create a really comfortable family home. The rear garden is "child-safe"and it also has lots of scope.
