This property is accessed via a quiet none through road, past Westland Cottages, which leads to a private gated parking area with large detached stone garage.

Internally, this is a delightful home of immense charm and character. Thoughtfully extended in the past, it provides a versatile and spacious layout, ideal for family living. While the property could now benefit from a degree of modernisation, it presents an outstanding opportunity for any purchaser to design a truly bespoke home, tailored to their own design and specification.The potential is truly remarkable, owing to the private and extensive garden grounds which incorporate a listed Gazebo, outstanding established flower beds both formal and informal, and an idyllic garden pond, all contributing to the extraordinary, peaceful setting this home commands.

The accommodation is well proportioned presently laid over one floor. There is a large floored attic which again offers potential for development.

Within the grounds is a one bedroom cottage which again requires upgrading, ideal as a letting investment, guest cottage, granny or nanny accommodation.

The large detached stone garage is set under a pitched red pan-tiled roof and could easily be developed into some form of living accommodation if desired. All of this would be subject to any purchaser obtaining the necessary planning permissions and warrants.

A gas fired central heating boiler serves panelled radiators throughout, complemented by a working cast iron stove in the Lounge and a living flame gas fire in the dining Kitchen. (not tested). A security alarm is also in operation.

It is rare to find a detached home of such character within the South side of the city that still retains its original grounds. The extensive, landscaped, mature gardens are truly exceptional,, extending to approximately ¾ of an acre. Within the garden there are a abundance of established flower borders including fig and fruit trees. There are charming seating areas, with particular note to the stone listed Gazebo from which panoramic views across the city and beyond can be enjoyed.

The one bedroom cottage which is adjacent to the substantial stone built garage/barn is perfect for guest accommodation, a self- contained relative's home or letting investment. The garage does again require upgrading but could be used as self-contained accommodation for example as an office studio or guest accommodation.

Gilmerton is a vibrant and established residential area located on the South side of the City. The area has recently undergone extensive redevelopment which in turn has created a community and environment that are served with first class amenities. Of note, is Dobbies garden centre which is close-by, with the Drum Estate also within the vicinity.
