Offering an appealing period home, with exciting modernisation and development opportunities, in one of the capital's most sought after central districts, this two/three-bedroom lower villa lies in bustling Bruntsfield, within the Marchmont, Meadows and Bruntsfield conservation area, an area much-loved for its delightful shopping amenities and proximity to the Meadows. The villa promises well-proportioned accommodation with excellent versatility, ideal for families or those seeking a rental investment, and is accompanied by neatly-maintained private gardens.
Reached via a lawned garden, bordered by hedgerows for added privacy, the front door opens into a practical vestibule leading into a generous hall with excellent built-in storage and rear garden access. Immediately on your left lies a bright and spacious reception room, lit by a vast bay window and enjoying an airy high ceiling adorned with intricate cornicing. The room allows plentiful, flexible space for comfortable seating and dining furniture, and features incorporated storage and a gas fire with an understated surround. Next door is a further reception area, ideal for formal dining or as a third double bedroom.
This room is favourably south-facing and benefits from a gas fire and built-in storage. Situated conveniently close to the dining room and the hall's rear garden entrance is a bright kitchen. In need of upgrading, this space represents a veritable blank canvas for creating a kitchen perfectly suited to one's tastes and requirements. Returning through the hall, you reach the home's two double bedrooms. The largest bedroom is heightened by a large box window, elegant cornicing, a gas fire, and an Edinburgh Press for display storage. The second bedroom is peacefully set to the rear of the property, with a south-facing position, and supplemented by an incorporated walk-in wardrobe and classic ceiling cornicing. Finally, a bright three-piece bathroom, accessed from the hall and requiring modernisation, completes the accommodation on offer. The property benefits from full double glazing.
Externally, the villa is complemented by well-kept private garden areas to the front and rear. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with the south-facing rear garden also featuring a paved seating area and a handy shed. On-street parking in the area falls under Controlled Zone S3. There is shared access with scope to create a parking space.
