3 bed garden & ground flat for sale in Craiglockhart

We are delighted to bring this rarely available family home to the market. With a prime location on Lockharton Avenue, overlooking Craiglockhart pond and local nature reserve, it is no wonder this property has so much appeal. The ground and garden property is split over two levels opening up to a wonderful south facing garden, meaning this home will undoubtedly appeal to many. The entrance at street level opens into the vestibule and hallway. Off the hall are three double bedrooms, the bathroom, a large store, the kitchen and a dining / family room leading to the balcony. The sunny and sheltered balcony has spectacular views making it a truly wonder spot to sit and bask in the sun. On the garden level are the living room and TV room / home office. The living room has sliding windows leading into the large sunny garden, which is an extension of the living space, perfect for al fresco dining, a quiet retreat, or secure play area for young children. The plan of the property is eminently habitable but also flexible and adjacent properties have been developed in different ways. There is potential to enlarge the kitchen and create ensuite shower rooms at the property's upper level whilst the rear room at garden level could be converted to a kitchen and dining room with a window in the rear wall to provide natural light as has been done previously in adjacent properties. Moving the kitchen also allows an additional bedroom to be created on the upper level. The property lies within Craiglockhart, a residential suburb which enjoys a semi-rural tranquil setting close by the Union Canal and Water of Leith and is known for its excellent local amenities and easy access both to the city centre and city bypass. The city centre is also easily accessible by a regular bus service or by foot or bike along the Union Canal pathway. The Craiglockhart Leisure and Tennis Centre is a few minutes' walk away and provides excellent sports facilities, including tennis courts, a gym, and fitness classes. The Meggetland Sports Complex is also a few minutes' walk away and has extensive sports pitches, facilities, cafe and bar. Morningside and Bruntsfield shops are within walking distance and the local nature reserve just across the pond is a great place to exercise or just enjoy the outdoors. The property is within the Craiglockhart primary school catchment area. It is within a short walking distance of George Watson's College and on direct bus routes to a number of other well-known schools. There is free on street parking and a secure garage under the Lockharton Court flats at the end of the road is available by separate agreement.
