The property

Set quietly back from a leafy residential street, a short stroll from Portobello's seafront, this two-bedroom detached house, with opportunities for development, represents a charming coastal home for city professionals, young families, rental and holiday let investors alike. Approached via a shared driveway, the rustic front door opens into a bright, wood-panelled entrance porch leading into a central reception hall. On your left, presented in relaxing, soft-toned decor, is a characterful reception room, where a cosy log burning stove, framed by a timber surround, creates a charming focal point for arranging comfortable lounge furniture. Wood-inspired flooring flows from here, through timber and glazed doors, into a versatile, dual-aspect dining room, featuring west-facing French doors to the private rear garden. Also leading off the living room, via a hallway with storage and garden access, is a traditionally-styled kitchen, appointed with honey-pine cabinets, matching wall panelling and rustic splashback tiling. Ample workspace is incorporated into the design, along with a freestanding cooker, a fridge and a dishwasher. Accessed from the entrance hall, and completing the ground-floor accommodation, is a family bathroom accommodating a three-piece-suite featuring a rainfall fitted shower head and handset. Upstairs, a landing with a deep cupboard leads to two double bedrooms with built-in storage. Whilst both bedrooms enjoy a sunny, south-facing aspect, the dual-aspect, principal bedroom offers access, via French doors, to a large balcony with leafy views. Gas central heating and double glazing are found throughout. Externally, the house is accompanied by a south-facing, low-maintenance rear garden. Parking for one car is available on the shared driveway to the front and further unrestricted on-street parking can be found on Argyle Crescent.
