The property

Occupying a vast plot on Drum Brae South in sought-after Corstorphine, this traditional detached house has been meticulously extended and reconfigured to create an exceptional bright and spacious family home, characterised by a desirable semi-open-plan layout. Inside, the property is presented to an impeccable standard, and outside boasts a wonderful landscaped garden and extensive private parking. Conveniently located on a wide and bustling avenue, as you step onto the substantial driveway the house instantly conveys a tranquil and secluded feel, courtesy of established conifer hedges. The welcoming porch and stained-glass front door lead into a generous hall with two large cloak cupboards and continuing to the right you reach the heart of the home: the enormous open-plan living room and dining area. By day the living room is flooded with light from floor-to-ceiling west-facing windows to the front and a south-facing window to the side; by night a handsome fireplace with a living flame gas fire fills the space with a war m, cosy glow. With doors into both the breakfasting kitchen and the conservatory, the dining area to the rear serves as a fantastic central hub – perfect for busy family meals, entertaining and afterschool homework! The exceptionally spacious conservatory benefits from central heating and an upgraded tiled roof, and thus represents a versatile reception room for year-round use. Modern and vibrant, the gloss-red fitted kitchen offers an abundance of hidden storage and workspace, plus a full range of integrated appliances, namely a four burner gas hob, an extractor hood, an eye-level oven and combination microwave oven, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a fridge/freezer. Returning to the hall, the ground floor also features a sunny double bedroom with fitted storage, and a pristine two-piece WC with underfloor heating. Upstairs the first floor accommodates a large master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a builtin cupboard and an en-suite shower room; two further double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes/storage; and the immaculate three-piece family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure optimum comfort and efficiency. The monoblock driveway to the front comfortable holds three vehicles, and from here a secure gate allows access to the fully enclosed rear garden, which has been landscaped to include two charming decked seating areas, a patio and a manicured lawn, plus a useful outhouse with lighting and power.
