Description

Offering a stylish family home with a desirable suburban address, this newly built four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached house lies close to everyday amenities, rail and road links, schools, and scenic open spaces, including the Union Canal and the Water of Leith. The property is presented in true move-in condition, with minimalist interiors creating a blank canvas for one’s preferred décor. An impressive open-plan living space opens onto an enclosed south-facing garden with a summer house and plentiful private parking is provided with a driveway. Occupying almost the entirety of the ground floor, with a bright, dual-aspect, the congenial open-plan living accommodation incorporates a spacious sitting area with handsome oak-inspired flooring and built-in storage, a dining area offering garden access, and an adjoining kitchen featuring a breakfasting peninsula.

The stylish monochrome kitchen is fitted around a focal stainless-steel range cooker and framed by on-trend subway tiling. A dishwasher and a fridge freezer are neatly integrated, whilst, next door, a coordinating utility room provides practical storage and space for laundry appliances with direct access to Bedroom 5 / Family Room.  Stairs from the ground floor lead up to an airy landing allowing access to four bedrooms, with all areas fitted with deep-pile carpeting for luxurious comfort. The sleeping areas comprise two garden-facing double bedrooms and two good-sized single rooms with built-in storage.

The principal bedroom benefits from the convenience of an en-suite shower room offset by tasteful partial tiling. Finally, a similarly-styled family bathroom comes replete with a hidden cistern WC, a basin and vanity unit, a towel radiator, and a bath with an overhead shower. The property is kept warm and efficient by gas central heating and full double glazing.

The home’s external space is equally well-presented and incorporates a generous rear garden and, to the front, a small, gated garden and a tandem driveway. Enclosed by fencing and overlooked by leafy trees, the south-facing rear garden promises a delightful low-maintenance space for family recreation with a seating patio, an artificial lawn, and a summer house.
