    About the property

    18 Mountcastle Bank enjoys a spacious living/dining room, three garden areas, and a side driveway for parking. It also provides buyers with the opportunity to add their own modernising stamp to develop an ideal family home in a popular area.

    The front door to the property opens into a bright hall that leads directly ahead into the living/dining room, which has a deep under-stair store cupboard. This spacious reception area enjoys a light and airy atmosphere heightened by a dual aspect, including patio doors to the north and a near-full wall of glazing to the south, which frames a view of Figgate Park. The floor plan incorporates space for comfortable lounge furniture and a 6+ family dining table beside a convenient service hatch to the kitchen. With a glazed door to the rear garden, the kitchen has a slate grey finish enhancing a sunny atmosphere. It comes fitted with ample base and wall cabinets and appliances. On the first floor, a bright landing leads to three bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom and a second double bedroom both come with large fitted wardrobes for neat clothes storage. The third bedroom is a versatile single space with a deep cupboard; it is an ideal room for a home office or a child’s bedroom. Completing the home is a bright three-piece bathroom.

    The property further benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Outside, the property has gardens to the front (south facing) and rear, which are both fully-paved for low maintenance. In addition, there is a side garden with a well tended law and a shed for storage. A monoblock side drive provides off-street parking.

    Approx two miles east of the city centre and northwest of Portobello, the residential suburb of Mountcastle is popular with families and young professionals alike owing to its fantastic transportation links and local amenities. These include independent shops, a pharmacy, and a florist, plus a Morrisons supermarket and petrol station on Portobello Road. Nearby Portobello High Street offers a range of bars and restaurants; for more extensive shopping and leisure, Fort Kinnaird Retail Park is just a ten-minute drive away.

    An easy ten-minute stroll takes you to the foot of Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags. For sport and fitness enthusiasts, nearby Meadowbank Sports Centre boasts a state-of-the art gym and fitness studio, indoor sports halls, and indoor/outdoor athletics tracks. Mountcastle is served by excellent local schools, including The Royal High Primary School and Portobello High School. Due to its proximity to the A1, Mountcastle enjoys convenient links into the city centre, including 24/7 bus services, and is also handy for Edinburgh City Bypass and further travel across East Lothian and the central belt.
