House For Sale £695,000
Set within a third of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens and enjoying enviable Pentland Hill views, this four-bedroom detached 1930s bungalow in desirable Fairmilehead promises a generous, versatile family home with a bespoke kitchen, multiple sunny living areas, and a large attic offering development potential, subject to the appropriate permissions being sought. The attractive double-fronted home is accompanied by a detached garage and private driveway and lies less than 30 minutes’ commute from the heart of Edinburgh and conveniently close to the City Bypass.
On opening the front door, you step into a bright vestibule flowing through to a large, elegantly-presented reception hall. Situated to either side of the hall are two equally spacious sitting rooms, both benefiting from a dual-aspect outlook, including south-facing box windows offering views towards the nearby Pentland Hills. Each room is further supplemented by elegant decorative plasterwork, incorporated shelving and storage, and living-flame fires as an inviting focal feature. Also reached from the hall and southeast-facing is a third good-sized reception area, currently utilised for formal dining but could easily be adapted to a fourth bedroom. Accessed from the dining room/ bedroom 3 and a rear hall (with built-in storage) is an equally sunny kitchen fitted around a further seated dining area perfect for casual family meals. Boasting a timelessly classic finish, the attractive bespoke kitchen features quality chalk-white cabinetry and coordinating worktops, incorporating a navy aga range cooker, an integrated dishwasher, and a fridge. An adjoining utility room houses freestanding goods comprising a microwave, a freezer, and a washing machine, with space for a tumble dryer. The utility room also boasts a traditional clothes pulley and access to a handy WC and the garden.
The property’s four bedrooms comprise a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, a further double with a built-in wardrobe, and a good-sized single room with a washbasin and fitted wardrobes, in addition to one of the dining rooms which could be repurposed as a fourth bedroom. The modern master en-suite shower room is aqua-panelled and equipped with a WC, a basin and vanity unit, a chrome towel radiator, and a shower enclosure, whilst a spacious three-piece family bathroom (accessed from the hall) completes the accommodation on offer. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Additional storage or possible development opportunities are provided within a generous loft space, subject to the appropriate permissions being sought.
Externally, the bungalow is hugged by substantial, lovingly-maintained mature gardens. The front garden is south-facing, with Pentland Hill views, whilst the garden to the side (which was designed and planted last year) and rear is mainly laid to lawn. This area also features a charming summer house with a patio seating area and a greenhouse. The property is set back from the road behind a long, gated driveway leading to a detached single garage.
