The property

49 Craigour Drive is an ideal property for downsizers and for those looking to enjoy a refurbishing project. It offers buyers true potential to become a fabulous home in a family-friendly, sought-after area. Tucked behind a front garden, the main door opens into a broad hall with a built-in cupboard. To the right is the living/dining room, which offers further storage and sizeable dimensions for comfortable lounge furniture. It is a bright and well-lit room, seeing plenty of natural light from two large windows. Next door, the breakfasting kitchen provides a good-size space for morning coffee and wall and base cabinets, with potentially generous worktops. There is room for appliances and a door to the garden. Furthermore, it is southerly-facing for an airy ambience and provides a handy storage cupboard. On the opposite side of the hall, two sunny double bedrooms neighbour one another, both with convenient built-in storage cupboards. The first bedroom, with the larger proportions, also offers a favourable south-facing aspect. Finishing the home is a bright three-piece bathroom with an over-the-bath shower. Double glazed windows and gas central heating ensure year round comfort and efficiency. Like the front garden, a large rear garden is laid to lawn, with a shed for storage, a drying green, and lots of space for pets and children. It is south-facing too, enjoying plenty of sunlight. Ample, unrestricted on-street parking is to the front. Little France is a popular residential suburb of Edinburgh lying approx 4 miles south of the city centre, making it an ideal location for commuting into the city centre and beyond. Excellent amenities are available in neighbouring Liberton, including two major supermarkets, a chemist, a bank, a post office, a bakery, pubs and a restaurant, as well as a selection of independent retailers. More extensive shopping facilities and a range of High Street shops are available in nearby Cameron Toll Shopping Centre. Little France is in the catchment area for Craigour Park Primary school and Liberton High School, whilst also being ideally placed for some of the best independent schools in the capital. The area benefits from excellent day and night bus services into the city centre and is ideally placed for swift access to the City Bypass and the M8/M9 motorway networks. The property is of non traditional construction known as the Permanent Aluminium Bungalow (Mark II), this is likely to make it unsuitable to a majority of mortgage lenders. Home Report £85,000 EPC: E
