Description
8 Glenorchy Terrace is a wonderfully bright and spacious ground floor proportion of a converted, stone build semi-detached villa, situated in the sought after residential area of Newington. The property boasts its own private driveway and garden to the front, along with delightful wrap around patio area, and further garden laid to lawn to the rear. The property has been sensitively and extensively upgraded in recent years to cater perfectly for modern living, and yet successfully blends the many contemporary fixtures and fittings with the many delightful original features. There is a fantastic opportunity for an individual to reinstate planning permission to extend out the rear of the property, creating a third bedroom and large art studio, off of the current dressing room. (subject to the appropriate permission and consents)
The impressive front hallway is shared with one other, with the flats own door opening to a welcoming reception hall taking you into the heart of the property.
The elegant bow ended living room is located to the front of the property and is generous in size, with detailed ceiling cornicing, working shutters, and functioning log burner. Being south facing, the room is flooded with natural light through the day and makes for a great place for relaxing or entertaining.
Sitting adjacent to the living room is the second bedroom. The current layout sees two beds on mezzanine level but the room could comfortably fit a double bed. The clever design allows for a large storage space above the room entrance. The principal bedroom can be found at the rear of the property and enjoys open outlooks over the garden. Both bedrooms are serviced by a luxurious family bath and shower room.
The impressive open plan kitchen and dining room can be found in the heart of the accommodation. The space flows well with the modern and contemporary kitchen fully fitted with integrated appliances, along with numerous wall and base units. This is a fantastic space both for living and entertaining, with doors that open directly onto the peaceful patio area to the side.
The property benefits from ample storage space throughout, as well as having access to a half height cellar.
Externally, there are two large garden rooms. One is being used as an extra room for guests, with the other offering a perfect example of a home office.
