The property

Generous 2-bedroom detached bungalow, with multiple reception areas, a landscaped garden with a summer house and a private driveway, enjoying a peaceful suburban setting in popular Craigentinny. Lying north-east of Edinburgh, the suburb of Craigentinny is located less than three miles from the city centre and neighbours the seaside town of Portobello, with its much-loved sandy seafront. Set behind a neat paved garden, the bungalow opens into an exceptionally spacious fully-enclosed porchway; south-facing, with wraparound windows, this bright space could easily be used as a pleasant sitting area. From here, you step into a vestibule, flowing through to a congenial hallway. Leading off the hall is a formal dining room, attractively-decorated and lit by a south-facing bay window. Enjoying convenient access from the dining room is a well-appointed kitchen, fitted with a superb collection of beech-effect cabinets and excellent worktop space, framed by eye-catching splashback tiling. A range of freestanding appliances/white goods includes an electric cooker (with a separate chimney style hood), a dishwasher and a tall fridge freezer. From the kitchen, steps lead into a spectacularly spacious lounge; wonderfully bright and airy, with immaculate neutral décor, double aspect windows and sliding doors leading to the adjoining conservatory. Offering panoramic views of the garden and outdoor access, the conservatory provides a delightful further reception area; perfect for comfortable seating or an additional dining area. Accessed from the hall, the bungalow's two double bedrooms are both well-presented, in a lightly-toned palette complemented by timber-effect flooring. One bedroom enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect, and is fitted with an impressive bank of mirrored wardrobes, whilst the second room features an elegant recessed shelving area. Also, accessed from the hall is a bright lightly-toned shower room, attractively-tiled and comprising a WC-suite (with vanity storage) and a spacious shower enclosure. Finally, leading off the dining room, is a versatile family room, currently used as a tranquil home study, and an adjoining utility room, with garden access. A floored and lined loft, with an electrical point and lighting, is also accessible from the kitchen. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure a warm, energy-efficient climate all year round. Externally, the property enjoys a beautifully landscaped rear garden, featuring paved areas, established borders, attractive pergolas and a charming summer house, with power. The bungalow also benefits from two handy tool sheds and a private driveway.
