The property

Enjoying a tranquil setting in sought-after Colinton, this exceptionally bright and spacious four bedroom semidetached villa is immaculately presented throughout, with stylish décor and contemporary kitchen and bathroom design. In addition to the wealth of flexible accommodation over two levels, the property also boasts beautiful private gardens, tremendous elevated views, and generous private parking. Nestled on the far edge of an established residential development, the villa occupies a particularly secluded spot, with open views to the front whilst the historic Covenanters woodland with maintained pathways to the rear of the property provides access to the Pentland Hills. The warm and welcoming entrance hall is floored in solid oak, which continues through into the fabulous open-plan living area at the rear. Spanning the entire width of the property, the south-facing space is subtly zoned into a living room, a dining area, a dual aspect sun lounge and a contemporary kitchen. Carpeted in soft cream, the spacious yet cosy living room easily accommodates a three-piece suite, and from here two steps take you down into the versatile sun lounge. Flooded with light from spectacular dual-aspect windows, including patio doors onto the rear garden, the sun lounge enjoys a wonderful leafy outlook and would lend itself to endless configurations. At the far end of the room, the generous dining area also features glazed doors onto the sunny patio (perfect for dining al fresco) and is ideally situated next to the southwest-facing kitchen. Lined with attractive mushroom-gloss cabinets, the stylish kitchen boasts an abundance of hidden storage and work space, plus a range of integrated appliances, namely a single oven, a microwave, a ceramic hob and a dishwasher (all Neff), an extractor fan and a fridge/ freezer. Returning to the hall, the ground floor also accommodates a double bedroom currently used as an office area, with fitted wardrobes, and the gleaming three-piece family bathroom, which cleverly houses a freestanding (concealed) washing machine. Upstairs the property boasts an impressive master bedroom with an immaculate en-suite shower room and substantial fitted wardrobes; a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes; and a sun-drenched single bedroom/study. The wide dormer window in the front-facing double bedroom yields a breathtaking vista that encompasses the iconic Forth bridges and Fife, as well as rugged Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags. The property benefits from gas central heating and partial double glazing, ensuring optimum home comfort and efficiency all year round. Externally the villa enjoys a well-tended front garden, and a south-facing rear garden that has been beautifully landscaped to include a sunny patio, a lawn with a selection of mature shrubs and trees. The detached single garage (with light/power sockets) and long tandem driveway provide off-street parking for four vehicles.
