The property

This attractive and versatile 1930's, two-bedroom, semi-detached bungalow has an elevated position on Redford Road and is located in the sought after Colinton area of Edinburgh, close to excellent local amenities, well regarded schools and minutes from the city by-pass. The property has been very nicely presented by the current owner and offers accommodation on ground floor level, but has the potential to reconfigure the layout, extend into the loft or garden, subject to all the usual permissions.
