Forming part of a contemporary cul-de-sac development in desirable Fettes, this mid-terraced house boasts four bedrooms, a spacious living room, a dining kitchen, two bathrooms, and excellent storage throughout, plus a private patio, access to shared gardens, and unrestricted parking.
An airy hallway welcomes you inside and houses no less than four built-in storage cupboards. Offering an inviting first impression of the home and showcasing the understated interiors to follow, the hall enjoys neutral décor and a wood-styled floor. Situated at the end of the hall is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, offering the perfect space for seated family meals, entertaining, and socialising with guests. The kitchen is well-appointed with a wide range of contemporary, gloss-white, handle-less cabinetry, stylish grey worktops, and sleek on-trend metro-tiled splashbacks. A full range of appliances is neatly integrated, including a raised oven, an eye-level microwave, an induction hob, an extractor fan, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The dining area is set next to a garden entrance – perfect for summer barbecuing. Ascending the stairs to the first floor, you reach a living room. Lit by a wealth of south-facing glazing flooding the space with sunshine throughout the day and affording access to a private balcony, the high-ceilinged reception room is further heightened by understated white décor and oak-inspired flooring, and plenty of floorspace is provided for lounge furniture and a home office setup, if required.
The house accommodates four double bedrooms, two located on each floor. The master bedroom is on the first floor and has the luxuries of two large built-in wardrobes and a four-piece en-suite bathroom, as well as a west-facing French window ornamented by a Juliet balcony. The remaining bedrooms all also incorporate generous built-in wardrobes, and one of the ground-floor rooms features French doors opening out onto the garden. Additional storage space can be found in a large attic, accessed via a hatch and ladder from the master bedroom. A ground-floor shower room completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a large shower enclosure, a wall-mounted basin, and a WC. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure optimum comfort and efficiency all year round.
Externally, the house benefits from its own private patio area (with a useful bike shed for 3-4 bikes), giving way to generous shared gardens, predominantly laid to lawn. Unrestricted parking can be found in the cul-de-sac.
