This deceptively spacious Victorian end-terrace house forms part of a traditional row in desirable Joppa, with excellent amenities close to hand and the beach enviably nearby.
The house enjoys five bedrooms, a generous reception room, a dining kitchen, a scullery, two bathrooms, and period features enhanced by sympathetic modern upgrades, plus front and rear gardens, a detached single garage, and a private driveway.
Approached via a gated pathway through a neat garden, the home’s front door opens into a traditionally tiled entrance vestibule, leading to a hall with built-in storage. On your left, you step into a south-facing living room, where classic proportions allow for various configurations of lounge furniture, all arranged around a homely fireplace flanked by an Edinburgh Press.
In the kitchen, modern wood-styled cabinets are accompanied by spacious worktops, splashback tiling, a delightful Aga stove, and an undercounter dishwasher. Ample room is provided here for a large dining table and chairs and additional furniture, whilst an adjoining scullery (with external access) boasts further cabinetry, workspace, and appliances. The first of the home’s five bedrooms is situated on this floor: the principal, which is accompanied by an en-suite bathroom. On the first floor, a landing (with storage) leads to the remaining four bedrooms and a shower room. The home benefits from gas central heating and double glazed windows with part secondary glazing.
Externally, in addition to the neat front garden, the house is complemented by a large rear garden with a spacious, manicured lawn, leafy trees, shrubbery, and neat hedges. A detached single garage and a private driveway offer private, off-street parking.
Joppa has long been one of the most desirable suburbs in the capital. Situated just over three miles northeast of the city centre, between Portobello and Musselburgh, Joppa offers all the charm of a Victorian seaside town with all the advantages of city living. Its local amenities are supplemented by Portobello High Street and by several major supermarkets in neighbouring Musselburgh. For more extensive shopping facilities, Fort Kinnaird is just a short drive away. Owing to its coastal setting, Joppa is well placed for strolls along the beach and rounds of golf in picturesque East Lothian, water sports and hikes up Arthur’s Seat. Just along the waterfront is Portobello Swim Centre. Joppa is within the catchment area for fantastic state schools and is also convenient for Loretto School in Musselburgh. The town enjoys excellent public transport links into the city centre, including train services from Brunstane station and comprehensive day/night bus routes, as well as ideal proximity to Edinburgh City Bypass and the A1.
