The property

Tucked away in a private, quiet courtyard setting just off Ravenscroft Street, this charming one bedroom upper villa forms part of a red sandstone mews, offering an ideal first time buy in the heart of the historic conservation village of Gilmerton. Number 6 Hawthorn Place is accessed via a shared stone staircase which leads up to a covered weather boarded porch. The front door opens into a delightful vestibule and inner hall (with storage cupboard) which leads directly to a bright and spacious open-plan living room/ kitchen. The generous living space is arranged around a cosy fireplace, with plenty of room for a dining area. A pretty window seat enjoys a south-west-facing aspect overlooking the courtyard. The perfectly appointed kitchen is neatly tucked into a corner recess and is fitted with cream shaker-style cabinets, beech laminate work surfaces, stainless steel accents and a range of appliances. A door from the living room leads into a rear hall which gives access to a particularly bright double bedroom, which is filled with an abundance of natural light, and a generous, contemporary shower room. Gas central heating and double glazing ensures a warm, energy efficient home. The popular residential suburb of Gilmerton lies approx. 4 miles to the South of Edinburgh City Centre and offers an excellent range of local amenities. Once a mining village, the thriving community is well served by shops, take-aways, hairdressers and with further shopping at nearby Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and Straiton Retail Park. £95,000.
