House For Sale £1,175,000
This charming and characterful six bedroomed 1920's detached family home, just eight miles from the city centre is uniquely desirable and would provide a family with country life in the city. With a southwest aspect, the property occupies a fantastic, elevated plot extending to three acres, is set back off the road and has the most magnificent panoramic views over the Pentlands and the countryside, with the Water of Leith at its feet. Very rare to enjoy this kind of rural living so close to the city centre. With two separate drives and flanked by mature trees, it is a private haven.
The accommodation benefits from many period features and is well proportioned with four excellent reception rooms as well as six bedrooms and two bathrooms. A prospective buyer may well wish to put their own mark on the property with some modernisation, but this property and grounds has fine bones together with flexible accommodation. In addition, more recently, the current owners have renovated an outbuilding into a fully insulated home office with a plethora of glass giving an additional undistracted space for home working/gym/studio. (It is also plumbed for a shower/loo so could be adapted to a granny flat)
The property itself is light with its many astragal windows. Also dormer windows in the bedrooms which have been added, giving extra light and taking advantage of the spectacular views from almost every angle.
This is a charming and flexible home in a peaceful setting with nature abounding and the sound of birdsong dominating.
Oil heating supplemented by a solar water heating system. Double glazing throughout.
Two driveways, both lockable and the other with electric gates.
Ground Floor: Entrance Porch, Hall, Drawing Room, Conservatory, Dining Room, Sitting Room, Pool Room, Kitchen/Dining Room, Utility Room, Cloakroom, Cloakroom
