Built in the 1930's, 48 Kingsknowe Drive is a sympathetically extended bungalow with very adaptable room space and the potential to expand further, if required. Harled, with a red tiled roof, it is carefully maintained throughout and has well-established front and back gardens and a single garage.
The front garden is bounded by a clipped privet hedge and has a combination of brick paviours, grassed areas and neat borders. Entering, there is a vestibule inside the front door that leads into the naturally lit welcoming hall. The comfortable living room overlooks the back garden and has a marbleized fire place. The kitchen is accessed from the living room and has a door opening onto a patio overlooking the back garden, with steps leading down into it.
The kitchen has a combination of floor and wall mounted storage, offering lots of space, down lit work surfaces with tiled splash backs and slot-in appliances. Currently, the bungalow has a dining room that could also be used as a home office or a third bedroom. The principal bedroom is south facing, offers access to an under stair cupboard and has an en-suite tiled shower room with three piece suite and high level ladder heated towel rail. The second bedroom has a bay window and is also south facing. The ground floor is completed by a separate naturally lit tiled shower room with three piece suite and ladder heated towel rail. The basin is encased in a vanity and storage unit. There is also access to a second under stair storage cupboard.
The stair that has a large Velux skylight, affording light to both it and the hall below, leads to the first floor family room that is the extension to the original bungalow. This appealing room has a coombed ceiling, with large dormer windows let into both its north and south sides and two doors at opposing corners to give access to the eaves storage that surrounds the room. The bungalow benefits from double glazing and gas fired central heating. It has a single garage, with road access separate from the front garden and a well-tended back garden that is primarily grassed, but includes three decked areas.
The bungalow has a cellar that has virtually the same footprint as the ground floor, excluding the garage. By excavation, the height of the cellar could be increased, thus enabling this area to have a permanent use; the precedent for using the cellar area has already been established in Kingsknowe Drive.
Area:
Kingsknowe Drive is an attractive and peaceful residential road that lies to the west of Lanark Road and connects directly to it and is some three and a half miles south of Edinburgh's city centre. There is a good choice of local shops and a 24 hour Asda Superstore at nearby New Mart Road and both an Aldi and M&S at Edinburgh West Retail Park, tucked in beside Chesser Avenue . Neighbouring Colinton and Juniper Green are both amenity rich and just a short car or bus drive away.
Leisure opportunities are catered for and include: Craiglockhart Sports Centre; Kingsknowe Golf Club; Nuffield Health in nearby Chesser; World of Bowling and good walks through Colinton Dell or along the Union Canal Walkway, linking to Edinburgh's cycle path network. Schooling is well represented from nursery to senior level. Kingsknowe railway station is a short walk, an efficient bus service operates from Lanark Road, and the city bypass offers convenient commuting links.
