4 bed detached house for sale in Balerno

Generously proportioned extended detached villa with beautiful outlook towards the Pentland Hills, offering flexible family accommodation which would now benefit from a degree of modernisation and cosmetic upgrading. Situated in a popular, mature residential area, 44 Cockburn Crescent occupies a large corner plot with outstanding views across fields, towards the Pentland Hills. Thanks to its position, there is potential to further extend the property on all sides. The property comprises entrance porch, reception hall, sunny lounge with double doors to the adjacent open plan dining room and family room, fitted kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom/WC, four bedrooms and bathroom with shower. It enjoys the benefit of gas central heating with a combination boiler, double glazed window units, fine open views and a flood of natural light. There are mature areas of private garden ground to the front, side and rear of the building and a driveway affords off-street parking and leads to a larger than average garage. In summary, it is anticipated that this home will prove to be of particular interest to perhaps the growing family and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, flexibility and potential on offer.
