**SOLD STC**
This semi-detached house in Eskbank features a desirable open-plan living area, two double bedrooms, a smaller nursery/study, with tasteful, modern interiors, plus front and rear gardens, an attached single garage, and a private driveway. Nestled in a cul-de-sac within an established residential development, the house would be perfect for professionals and families looking for a well-connected home within easy reach of excellent local amenities, transport links, and parks.
A vestibule, with storage, welcomes you into the home and leads directly into the living accommodation on the left, providing a sociable, flowing open-plan layout perfect for everyday family life and entertaining. The living area, with handy under-stair storage, offers plenty of space for lounge furniture and enjoys neutral décor enhanced by a chic accent wall and oak-styled flooring. The room flows freely through to a dining area, set next to the kitchen and featuring southerly-facing French doors opening onto the garden, extending the space outdoors during the warmer months. The kitchen, with a second garden entrance, is fitted with timeless cream-coloured cabinets and spacious wood-styled worktops, framed by on-trend metro-tiled splashbacks. An oven, a hob, an extractor hood, and a dishwasher are integrated, whilst a washing machine is included.
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a smaller room currently used as a child’s bedroom but which could be utilised as a nursery, study, or dressing room. The bedrooms are both neutrally decorated and fitted with carpets, and the larger of the two features a large walk-in wardrobe. A large storage cupboard and loft are accessible from the landing.
The stylish, newly fitted bathroom comprises a bath with an overhead rainfall shower, eye-catching tiling, a WC-suite set into storage with a vanity cabinet above (featuring a demisting mirror, with lights, and shaver sockets), and a chrome towel warmer. State-of-the-art air-source heating (which was fitted a year ago along with new radiators) and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
The enclosed back garden is leafy, tranquil and sun-drenched throughout the day. A decked terrace looks out onto a wealth of colourful plants and shrubs, a rose covered pergola, edible cherry tree, raised vegetable beds and a shed for outdoor storage. The front garden also features a lawn and a dining area from which to enjoy the evening sun.
Off-street parking is provided by an attached single garage and a private driveway. There is scope to add additional bedrooms to the property by converting the garage and adding a dormer, subject to planning permission.
