    About the property

    UNDER OFFER

    8 Myrtle Terrace forms part of a handsome villa situated in popular Shandon. Accessed via a private ground floor vestibule, stairs lead to a welcoming first floor hall. Situated to the front of the property is a generously proportioned living room. This inviting reception area with its honey-coloured pine flooring, stylish sage-green decor and delicately detailed cornicing, creates a wonderful space to relax in. A traditional sash-and-case window (with working shutters) floods the room with natural light, whilst a handsome working fireplace creates a delightful focal point. Next door, a generous dining room boasts a favourable sunny aspect, floor-to-ceiling fitted shelving, a fireplace with a living-flame fire, a built-in cupboard and enough floor space for a large dining table and chairs. Leading from the dining room and also enjoying a bright sunny aspect, is the kitchen. Completing the first floor accommodation is a WC and one of the three bedrooms on offer. 

    On the second floor, a sky-lit landing (with storage and loft access) leads to the remaining bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms, both well-proportioned doubles, are individually styled and fitted with carpets for maximum comfort. Finally, the sky-lit bathroom comprises a shower-over-bath, a pedestal basin, a WC and space for the washing machine.

    The property is heated by an efficient gas central heating system, which is controlled by Hive Active Heating, and benefits from partial double glazing. Externally, the villa is accompanied by a large, private front garden; mainly laid to lawn and featuring leafy shrubbery and trees and a handy shed. Convenient unrestricted on-street parking is available on Myrtle Terrace.

    The popular residential district of Shandon is characterised by its leafy streets, appealing traditional tenements and open green spaces. Steeped in history, Shandon is home to a conservation area and the last surviving Edinburgh brewery – the Caledonian Brewery. There is a range of local amenities, with more extensive shopping (including a Sainsbury’s superstore) in neighbouring Gorgie. Furthermore, bustling Morningside Road, with its charming selection of independent retailers and thriving café culture, is just a short drive away. Popular with young professionals thanks to its close proximity to the city centre, Shandon enjoys superb public transport links across the capital, as well as swift and easy access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the M8/M9 motorway networks.
