The property

The quiet suburb of Liberton offers a sought-after village atmosphere that you can scarcely believe is only three miles south of Edinburgh city centre. There is no shortage of activities and outdoor pursuits to suit all ages and abilities, from a game of frisbee or a picnic in Liberton Public Park, to a round of golf at Braid Hills Golf Centre or Liberton Golf Club, which yields panoramic views across the city. With a range of shops close by, including Cameron Toll Shopping Centre (with over 40 shops, including two large supermarkets) and more traditional shops in the older parts of Liberton itself (including a post office, a bank and a chemist), there is no need to travel into the centre for shopping. The property falls within the catchment area for Liberton Primary School and Liberton High School, and is well situated for a choice of independent schools. The University of Edinburgh King's Buildings campus and Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are also nearby. Regular day and night bus services ensure fast and convenient travel links to the city centre and beyond. Proximity to Edinburgh City Bypass also makes Liberton an ideal choice for frequent travellers and commuting professionals. Quietly positioned on Kenilworth Drive in leafy Liberton, this traditional three-bedroom mid-terraced house represents an appealing family home, complete with low- maintenance private gardens to the front and rear, plus unrestricted on-street parking directly adjacent. The property is presented to an attractive, move-in standard throughout, however, promises excellent scope for upgrading and modernisation to suit contemporary lifestyles, as well as potential for a rear extension, conservatory or loft conversion, subject to obtaining planning and building consent. The traditional mid-terraced house sits back from the road behind an enclosed, south-facing private garden and its front door is positioned beneath a charming canopy porch. Welcoming you inside is a spacious entrance vestibule, followed by a neat hall flowing into the open-plan living room and dining room. With dual-aspect windows to the front and rear, this flexible reception room is ideal for modern family life and entertaining, and may allow scope to add patio doors onto the rear garden. The sunny living room offers ample space for comfortable seating, while the dining room easily accommodates a six-seat table and supplementary furniture. The separate kitchen enjoys direct access to the rear garden via a convenient rear vestibule with under-stair storage. Gloss-white kitchen cabinets paired with granite-effect worktops provide generous storage and workspace, and house an integrated electric hob, double oven/grill and washing machine. This leaves room for a tall, freestanding fridge-freezer. Upstairs, the airy landing incorporates a linen cupboard and a hatch and pull-down ladder to the partially-floored storage loft, which offers potential for conversion into additional living space. The first floor accommodates three good-sized double bedrooms, all of which enjoy built-in wardrobes and storage. The front-facing bedrooms benefit from a southerly aspect, while the rear-facing bedroom boasts scenic views of rugged Arthur's Seat. Finally, the modern, accessible wet room features a walk-in shower, a wall-mounted washbasin, a toilet and a chrome towel warmer. Gas central heating and double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. In addition to the enclosed, south-facing private garden to the front, the house also benefits from a private, low-maintenance garden with a shed and a summerhouse to the rear. This fully-enclosed space can be accessed from the rear vestibule or externally via a shared close, and may allow scope to add an extension or conservatory (as neighbouring properties have done), subject to consent. Unrestricted on-street parking is available directly adjacent. EPC Rating - C. Extras: all fitted floor coverings, blinds and fridge-freezer to be included in the sale.
