With solid sandstone walls and a pitched roof, encasing the first floor, with dormer windows, the house is owner / occupied and beautifully presented, having been completely renovated less than five years ago. It has a near exemplary Home Report and is ready to move in to.
The front door opens into a lobby that leads into the kitchen, the hub of the ground floor. From the kitchen, access is obtained to the rest of the ground floor and staircase. The kitchen has a range of floor and wall mounted storage units, a full length work surface with tiled splash back and additional protection behind the gas hob. There is both an integrated electric oven and washing machine as well as a dedicated space for the fridge / freezer. The room is also large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs. The comfortable living room adjoins the kitchen and overlooks Merchiston Avenue; it has a spacious in-built cupboard, providing very useful storage, while also being home to the combi-boiler. The tiled bathroom is naturally lit and has a three piece suite and a separate shower cabinet. The inner hall leads to the staircase and upper landing.
The windowed staircase is bright and welcoming and there is a Velux roof window on the upper landing. Both the larger bedrooms have dormer windows and double built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors. There is a third smaller bedroom, to the back of the house, that could also be used as a study or home office, if required. Lastly, there is a wc, with two piece suite. The house is double glazed throughout and has a gas fired central heating system.
