This charming 1930s upper villa has retained a wealth of period features and, along with generous accommodation, private gardens and parking, boasts a fantastic floored attic room with potential for conversion into a third bedroom, subject to planning consents.
Enjoying a prime corner plot, the property is set behind a private garden and is accessed via a striking pillar-box red front door. An entrance vestibule and stairs lead up to the welcoming hall, where tall ceilings and original internal doors set the tone for the accommodation to follow. The spacious living room to the front features exposed floorboards and an original fireplace, as well as a wide window with elevated views across Corstorphine. The dining kitchen to the rear benefits from a southwesterly aspect with views towards the Pentland Hills and provides fitted storage and workspace, plus a range of appliances. The room also features an original fireplace flanked by fitted shelving, and a generous central dining area. There are two generous bedrooms lying to the front and rear respectively. Completing the accommodation is the stylish three-piece bathroom with an original cast-iron roll-top bath, wall-mounted shower, and two-piece basin and toilet suite. Accessible via hatch and Ramsay ladder, the attic room benefits from central heating, lighting and power, skylights and extensive built-in storage, and represents scope for conversion into a third bedroom, subject to planning consents.
Further benefits include GCH, DG, private gardens to the front and side, as well as a southwest-facing private garden with a shed, a paved tandem driveway and unrestricted on-street parking.
Corstorphine Village provides an excellent range of local amenities including shops, banks, a Post Office, restaurants, pubs, takeaways and a large supermarket. For more extensive shopping, The Gyle Shopping Centre and Hermiston Gait Retail Park are a short drive away. There's regular buses to and from the City Centre and beyond as well as the tramline (with the closest stop being only 5 minutes away) giving access to Edinburgh Airport and the city centre, and the proximity of the City Bypass, the M8 and the A90 makes commuting by car fast and convenient.
