Description
7 Lockharton Avenue is a well-proportioned Victorian terraced house situated on a quiet residential street in the highly desirable area of Craiglockhart. This attractive stone built home offers bright and spacious accommodation with a flexible layout that also offers scope to be altered, if desired, (subject to consents) to cater to different styles of living. On the ground floor, this handsome property comprises: sitting room with bay window and focal feature fireplace; further versatile reception room (or fifth bedroom) to rear also with fireplace and direct access to the garden; fitted kitchen with ample worktops and cabinets; and adjoining dining room. Stairs from the dining room lead up to what was once the maid's quarters, but now forms the space for the fourth bedroom/study and a WC. Up the main staircase, there are three double bedrooms including a particularly spacious principal bedroom. The large family bathroom comfortably fits a corner shower and a freestanding roll top bath as well as wash hand basin, WC and chrome towel rail. A sizeable box room off the hall is currently used as a handy laundry room. There is excellent storage throughout the home including within the partially boarded loft space.
