The property
***Back on market due to fallen missives this is... An exceptional END VILLA enjoying an enviable location in this highly regarded residential area just a few miles east of Edinburgh's city centre. The house has been skilfully refurbished to make the most of the superb panoramic views to the sea, and beyond. Vestibule/Porch; Hall; Cloakroom with Toilet; Stunning open-plan Living/Dining/Kitchen space (Patio Doors to garden) Bedroom 1; Upstairs to 2 Double Bedrooms & luxury Bathroom. Gas CH; Secondary Glazing; Driveway ; Front Garden & Beautiful "suntrap" Patio & garden to rear ( southfacing) Free on-street parking. Ulster Drive is one of a series of residential streets built along the north eastern slopes of Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh's popular Willowbrae district. The city centre is a very convenient 15 minutes via one of the many regular bus services travelling in and out of town, from nearby; by car the journey is the same but motorists can also reach the city by-pass leading on to the main road network, in just over 5 minutes. There are lots of shops within a short stroll including local "corner shops" and a Morrisons Supermarket. Many families are attracted to the area by the choice of schools, amongst the best in the capital. Recreation & leisure pursuits are well catered for with several golf courses & bowling greens, tennis & squash courts as well as the super walks, jogs or cycle routes in neighbouring Holyrood Park. Add to that, the close proximity of the seaside at Portobello and it is little wonder potential buyers want to live here. Completely transformed from the original specification and, to a degree, from the layout, this stunning home is in "Show House" condition and features high quality interior design features and specification. The best of both words-the character of the period and contemporary vibes. There is gas central heating, double glazing and superb new kitchen & bathroom. The rooms are all bright, well- proportioned and can be set up as a 3 bedroom or indeed using Bed 1 as a formal sittingroom, taking advantage of the quite breathtaking panoramic views, it could offer the 2 Public, 2 Bedroom layout often favoured by downsizers or professional couples. The garden to the rear has been a challenge…it was overgrown and "out of hand"; it has now been professionally re-landscaped stopping short of final planting to give the buyers scope to introduce their own ideas.
