    About the property

    Situated in the highly desirable, leafy area of Greenbank, this spacious, three/four-bedroom, two-reception room, detached house represents an impressive family home. It further boasts a large breakfasting kitchen, a modern wet room, and a generous store, as well as a south-facing landscaped garden, a driveway and garage, and a versatile workshop. Whilst the property requires a modernising touch, its outstanding potential is self-apparent.

    With a charming frontage, the home’s main door is reached by a small flight of stone steps, opening into a vestibule then to a hall. Directly ahead is the south-facing living room, which is generously proportioned and brightly illuminated by an oversized window and glazed door, framing delightful views of the rear garden. This reception room also features stripped wooden floorboards and a cosy fireplace as a focal-point for arranging lounge furniture. A dining room, conveniently adjacent to the kitchen, provides a second, spacious reception area for family meals. The kitchen itself, meanwhile, comes well-appointed with cabinetry and excellent worktop space, incorporating a breakfast bar and room for freestanding appliances (electric cooker, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine). It also provides alternate access to the south-facing rear garden. To the home’s front are two of the four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom has two built-in cupboards maximising the floorspace, whereas the second bedroom has varnished wooden floorboards and a striking feature fireplace for added style. Completing the ground floor is a modern three-piece wet room. Upstairs, the naturally-lit landing connects to a large walk-in store room, and the two remaining bedrooms, one of which enjoys a south-facing aspect and inspiring views over the stunning rear garden. The property is warmed by gas central heating.

    Outside, there is a low-maintenance front garden and an expansive, south-facing rear garden that is beautifully landscaped with mature plants, a sweeping lawn, and a patio for alfresco dining in the sun. Parking for multiple cars is provided by a private driveway and an attached single garage, with access to a large workshop for creative use.

Enjoying the outdoors couldn’t be easier with the lovely green areas of Braidburn Valley Park (awarded Scotland’s first Green Flag for excellence in parks) and Colinton Mains Park or Blackford Hill where delightful walks and superb views across Edinburgh can be enjoyed. The Pentland Hills regional park is a short drive away and offers walking, biking and skiing at Midlothian Snowsports Centre.
