The property

This three-bedroom detached dormer bungalow in sought-after Corstorphine sits on a generous corner plot that is fully enclosed and includes low-maintenance gardens alongside a large, gated driveway leading to an attached garage. The spacious two-storey home, featuring a shower room on each level and multiple living areas, now requires some updating. It presents a fantastic opportunity to modernise a residence in one of the capital's most exclusive suburbs, conveniently close to shops, schools, and transport links by rail, bus, tram, and road. A vestibule leads into an airy entrance hall with storage. Immediately on your right is a spacious bay-fronted living room with a southwest-facing aspect and cupboard storage. Further down the hall is a bright study (with fitted storage) and the large kitchen. Although the kitchen requires a refit, it is equipped with a good range of units arranged around a central dining area—perfect for family meals and socialising with guests while cooking. Integrated into the space are a fridge-freezer and an electric oven and hob. Additionally, there is an undercounter washing machine and dishwasher. Leading off the kitchen and promising multi-use versatility is a conservatory that opens onto the garden. Two of the double bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one featuring a bay window and the other, ample built-in storage, both served by a bright shower room. The principal suite enjoys complete privacy on the first floor, accessed via stairs from the study. This secluded bedroom benefits from eaves storage and a bright en-suite shower room. The property includes double glazing and gas central heating. Externally, the large, enclosed plot boasts front and rear gardens. Paved and gravelled areas make the gardens easy to maintain while providing scope for further landscaping.
