**SOLD STC**
Traditional, generous detached house in Gilmerton with flexible accommodation including four bedrooms and two reception rooms, with scope for the new owner to configure to their own requirements, as well as potential for modernisation and upgrading. The house is accompanied by a front garden, a large, sunny rear garden, and private parking.
A pathway through the front garden leads to the sheltered front door, where you are welcomed inside by a spacious hallway. To the right of the hall lies a living room, enjoying charming traditional features including cornicing, a picture rail, and two Edinburgh Press cupboards with display shelving and hidden storage, flanking a homely fireplace. The fireplace provides a lovely focal point around which furniture can be arranged. Across the hall, a second reception area awaits: a similarly-proportioned dining room. The dining room enjoys many of the same features as the living room and is further heightened by a sunny aspect and garden views. The kitchen (with garden access) is set to the rear of the house and is conveniently connected to the dining room. Currently, base cabinets are accompanied by a worktop, splashback tiling, and pantry storage, and space is provided for a number of freestanding appliances. Two of the home’s four bedrooms are also located on the ground floor. One benefits from a handsome fireplace flanked by an Edinburgh Press, alongside cornicing and a ceiling rose, whilst the other benefits from a large, mirrored built-in wardrobe. One of the rooms could be utilised as a third reception room or a home office, if required.
On the first floor, a landing with storage leads to the two remaining bedrooms, both fronted by charming dormer windows and accompanied by built-in storage. A shower room, accessed from a small split-level landing, completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a shower cubicle, a basin set into storage, and a WC. GCH & DG.
Externally, the home is flanked by gardens to the front and rear. The front garden is mainly gravelled for easy upkeep, whilst the enviably sunny rear garden features spacious lawns and a wealth of trees and leafy shrubbery. A driveway, shared with a neighbouring property, leads to a private parking space to the rear.
