The property

When thinking of Joppa, one tends to think of the fine stone-built houses that line the leafy streets of this delightful coastal area to the East of the city, and this extremely engaging, superbly proportioned C-listed upper villa is certainly one of those. Boasting fine Victorian period features that elegantly combine with modern fixtures and fittings, this is an extremely welcoming, beautiful home, flooded with natural light. Accessed by way of a shared entrance, the front door opens on to a stair up to the first floor (filled with light from a superb cupola overhead). The gorgeous double glazed, sash & case box bay windowed sitting room provides views to the front of the property, whilst a magnificent marble mantlepiece (with open flame gas fire) makes a lovely focal point in the room. Overhead the decorative cornice is well defined with a central ceiling rose. The window opens as a door onto the sunny (in clement weather) balcony area. Wall and base mounted cabinetry flank opposite walls in the kitchen, in addition to a handy washing pulley overhead. There is a gas hob, electric oven, extractor hood, washer / drier and fridge/freezer – all of which will be included in the sale. To the rear of the property are two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes. The bathroom is partially tiled with units comprising; bath (with shower over), WC and wash hand basin. Externally there is a charming private front garden with raised beds, seating area and a wonderful mix of established plants, bushes and shrubs. Unrestricted parking is available on the street outside. Situated around 4 miles to the east of Edinburgh's city centre, Joppa is a lovely coastal suburb.
