24 West Mill Road is a traditional terraced cottage in Colinton which enjoys four bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bathrooms, modernised interiors, and a south-facing aspect, plus generous gardens and off-street parking.
The accommodation comprises entrance vestibule, hall (with a WC cloakroom) enjoying open access to the living areas. The hall, with neutral décor and an engineered wood floor, which flows through most of the ground-floor, gives the first glimpse of the attractive accommodation to follow. The living areas consist of a living room and dining kitchen, enjoying an open-plan layout. The south-facing living room offers plenty of space for various furniture layouts and features a period fireplace with a handsome wood surround. Visually separated from the living room by a breakfast bar and a striking wooden beam, the kitchen is equipped with cream-coloured country-style cabinets with wood worktops and splashback tiling. Space is provided for a Range-sized cooker and further appliances, whilst a built-in cupboard offers space and plumbing for laundry appliances. The kitchen opens out onto the rear garden. The ground-floor is also home to the master bedroom, which is currently being used as a playroom and a further dining room, highlighting the versatility of the home. The master enjoys muted décor and further benefits from an en-suite shower room. On the first-floor, a landing leads to the three remaining bedrooms (two doubles and a single) and a family bathroom. The bedrooms on this floor are all lit by skylight windows, neutrally decorated and fitted with carpets, and all three incorporate storage. Finally, the family bathroom comprises a freestanding rolltop bathtub with a rainfall showerhead, and a WC-suite. The cottage is heated by zoned underfloor heating on the ground floor, as well as an efficient gas central heating system, and benefits from double glazing throughout.
Outside, the home is accompanied by a south-facing, low-maintenance front garden, and a wonderfully spacious rear garden which slopes down to the Water of Leith. This generous outdoor space consists of a large patio, a vast lawn bordered by hedges and leafy shrubbery, a decked terrace, a brick-built barbecue, one bike shed, one larger shed at bottom of the garden, and a children’s tree house with slide and climbing wall. A shared parking area at the end of the row of cottages provides off-street parking.
Situated just four miles southwest of the city centre, the exclusive residential suburb of Colinton is renowned for its quaint village ambience and tranquil setting on the banks of the picturesque Water of Leith. Colinton Village is home to a raft of independent retailers and local businesses, including restaurants, pubs and a post office. In addition to three supermarkets nearby, the bustling high streets of neighbouring Morningside and Bruntsfield also offer excellent local amenities. The woodland of Colinton Dell provides a natural habitat for diverse animals and plant-life and hosts several sites of historical interest, while the majestic Pentland Hills are just a walk or drive away. Colinton is served by an excellent range of schools including early years and primary education at Bonaly Primary School, followed by secondary schooling at Firhill High School. The area is also extremely well placed for some of the capital’s finest independent schools, namely Merchiston Castle School, which is located just outside the village. Thanks to its location southwest of the city centre, Colinton enjoys convenient links to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the M8/M9 motorway networks. Excellent public transport services and extensive cycle paths also provide swift and easy access to the city centre.
