At the end of the hall, a generous living and dining room awaits, peacefully overlooking the rear garden. The reception room is illuminated by dual-aspect glazing, with a large south-facing window capturing wonderful sunshine and garden views and wide patio doors affording direct access to the outdoor space – perfect for family recreation and entertaining during the warmer months! The kitchen is situated conveniently next door to the living and dining room and is currently fitted with a selection of white wall and base cabinets, plentiful workspace and splashback tiling. Provision is made for freestanding and undercounter appliances, and the kitchen is completed by a handy clothes pulley and an external entrance. Three double bedrooms and a bathroom are also located on the ground floor. The sleeping areas all offer ample room for freestanding furnishings and feature Edinburgh presses, and two benefit from traditional fireplaces. One of the bedrooms also offers potential to be used as a home office, ideal for those requiring a quiet space to work or study from home, or could be set up as a formal reception area, such as a separate dining room. The bathroom comes complete with a corner bathtub and a WC-suite. On the first floor you will find the remaining two bedrooms and a shower room. The bedrooms both have access to the eave’s storage and the shower room comprises a three-piece suite. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system and double glazed windows. Externally, the house is accompanied by a generous rear garden, presenting potential for future extension if desired (subject to the correct permissions) and featuring a patio, a large lawn, and a wealth of leafy trees and shrubs. Parking is available by way of a private driveway to the side - this space is currently being used by the ramp access to the front door but could be removed to allow for the driveway to be used for off-street parking, with ample unrestricted on-street parking available on Craiglockhart Crescent and the surrounding streets.
