Set within an established residential area of Balerno, just seconds’ walk from Dean Park Primary School, this traditional end-terrace villa represents an attractive two-bedroom home within easy walking distance of local amenities. The property is presented to an appealing standard throughout and offers fantastic scope for further modernisation and personalisation.
The front door opens into a sunny, south-facing entrance hall with a useful walk-in store room tucked under the stairs. The carpeted hall flows into the large living/dining room, which stretches the entire depth of the property and enjoys dual-aspect windows to the east-facing front and west-facing rear. Attractive oak-effect flooring and fresh white décor enhance the light and airy ambience, while an electric fire framed by a traditional surround provides added warmth and comfort. This flexible reception room continues into the well-appointed kitchen, which is equipped with rich timber-effect cabinetry, granite-style worktops and cream splashback tiles. From here a back door allows access to the west-facing patio garden. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms positioned to the front and rear, both of which incorporate useful fitted wardrobes/storage. The bright landing also affords access to the attic and accommodates a three-piece bathroom, comprising an electric shower-over-bath with a glass screen, a pedestal basin and a toilet. Gas central heating and double-glazed windows guarantee year-round comfort and efficiency.
Externally, the property features a low maintenance front garden and a west-facing patio garden to the rear with a useful shed. From here a gate allows direct access to a well-tended public green, which boasts a children’s play area. Ample, unrestricted parking is available in the vicinity.
