Set directly beside Gyle Park in popular Corstorphine, the property has a sought-after location as well. Schools, supermarkets, and the Gyle Shopping Centre are all within easy walking distance, and bus links are a stone’s throw away ensuring a swift connection to the city centre. Viewing is essential as this home will be in high demand.

Entrance – An impeccable welcome

The home’s impeccable standards are apparent from the outset, the front door opening into a vestibule and hall, defined by stylish decoration. It is a pristine introduction, providing a glimpse of what to expect. The hall also offers a built-in cupboard and attic access for further storage.

Reception rooms – Two reception rooms and a study

The dual-aspect living room is the heart of this residence, boasting an expansive footprint that is bathed in warm light from the south and west. The room is further enhanced by a sumptuous palette of neutral hues and a quality wood-style floor that adds texture to the space. It can house a fantastic choice of lounge furnishings; plus, it extends out into the rear garden via French doors – perfect for families. An open archway leads to the adjacent dining room, creating a sociable flow of accommodation and the ideal setup for lively dinner parties and family meals. Just off the living area, there is also a study for working from home. If desired, this versatile space can be used creatively (such as a children’s playroom) to suit a wide range of lifestyles.

Kitchen – A breakfasting kitchen with granite worksurfaces

The breakfasting kitchen sports a monochrome-inspired design, with white base and wall-mounted cabinets and black granite worksurfaces. It has excellent storage and expansive workspace, housing an integrated ceramic hob, a double oven, and a dishwasher. It also comes with a freestanding washing machine, a dryer, and space for a fridge/freezer. In addition, dual-aspect windows ensure a bright cooking environment throughout the day, whist a door provides direct access to the front garden for added convenience.

Bedrooms – Three large bedrooms with matching décor

Located throughout the home, the three double bedrooms are all large doubles that enjoy a bright and airy ambience, along with ample floorspace for a wide choice of bedside furnishings. Each room mirrors the aesthetic of the living area, ensuring design continuity and a beautiful palette that is easy to style. The south-facing principal bedroom further benefits from a shelved recess and direct access to the garden’s decking; plus, it has the luxury of an en-suite shower room. Meanwhile, bedroom two has a built-in cupboard and bedroom three has display shelving. These two rooms also feature box bay windows for a flood of natural light.

Bathrooms – A high-standard en-suite and family bathroom

Enveloped in sandy-toned tiles, the principal bedroom’s en-suite is of a high standard. It features a hidden-cistern toilet, a washbasin with downlit counterspace, mirrored cabinet storage, a towel radiator, and a double walk-in shower enclosure. The family bathroom has a similar aesthetic and quality fixtures and fittings, but instead of a shower cubicle, it is fitted with a double-ended bathtub with handheld and overhead showers.

The property has gas central heating and double-glazed windows for year-round comfort and efficiency.

Garden & Parking – A beautiful south-facing garden

Externally, the home is nestled behind a low-maintenance front garden that is laid with paving and dotted with mature trees for decoration. To the rear, there is also a beautifully landscaped garden that is fully enclosed and family friendly. This garden features a raised decked area, as well as a generous lawn and patio framed by established planting. There are also mature apple trees that produce a lot of fruit. It offers fantastic privacy and a suntrap, south-facing aspect too. Furthermore, there is an extensive basement space underneath the property, which has the same footprint as the entire house providing a wealth of storage. A private front driveway and an attached single garage have off-street parking for two cars.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances, a washing machine, and a dryer to be included in the sale.
