The property

Closing date set: Tuesday 1st March at 12 noon. Elegant traditional terraced villa retaining fine period features, with imposing stone fronted façade and attractive roof balustrade, located in a much respected residential area. Having the benefits of its own south facing back garden backing onto Holyrood Park, a beautiful leafy outlook, classic proportions and a degree of flexibility in terms of layout, this property comes with enormous potential. Whilst now requiring an element of modernisation, the property allows the new purchaser the opportunity to upgrade and design the house to their own particular specification. Period features have been retained wherever possible, with ornate plaster detailing, stripped wood panelled doors and no fewer than four traditional mantelpieces, and the stripped woodwork in the reception hallway is extremely impressive. There are two public rooms on the ground floor, in addition to a fitted kitchen which gives direct access to the garden. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful WC. On the upper floor there are four bedrooms from which to choose – one would make an excellent study. Finally, the shower room has been fitted with a white suite and shower, with a Velux window providing natural light and ventilation. The upper landing is lit by a substantial cupola and a further staircase gives access to a large roof terrace, a wonderful vantage point from which to enjoy spectacular 360o views over Edinburgh and beyond the Forth to Fife. Further benefits on offer include gas central heating, double glazing, including some newly installed CR Smith windows and unrestricted on street parking. Entrance vestibule, hall, bay windowed living room, formal dining room, fitted kitchen with door to garden, WC, bay windowed master bedroom, 3 further bedrooms, shower room with Velux window, gas central heating, double glazing, south facing back garden, unrestricted on street parking.
