Afton Terrace, Trinity, Edinburgh, EH5

A delightful semi-detached home in Trinity with generous gardens, a driveway, and scope to extend, nestled in the heart of this sought-after community.

Description

Set in the heart of Trinity, one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential areas, this charming two-bedroom semi-detached home offers generous proportions, period character, and fantastic potential for modernisation and extension (subject to the necessary consents). Built circa 1930, the property retains a wealth of original features, including bay windows and high ceilings, while benefiting from a private driveway and beautifully maintained gardens to the front, side, and south-facing rear.

The entrance hallway leads to the bright and spacious sitting room, which enjoys an attractive bay window overlooking the front garden. To the rear, the dining room offers an ideal space for entertaining, with direct access to the kitchen, which is positioned to the side of the property. A conservatory extends from the kitchen, overlooking the rear garden.

On the first floor, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both flooded with natural light. The shower room and a separate WC complete this level.

A Ramsay Ladder leads to the converted attic, which is currently used as an additional space but offers exciting potential for full development, subject to planning.

Externally, the home enjoys a generous plot with private gardens wrapping around three sides. The south-facing rear garden is particularly appealing, offering a secluded retreat with mature planting. The property also benefits from a private driveway to the front, providing convenient off-street parking.

There is significant scope to extend to the rear, side, or into the attic, as seen in similar properties in the area (subject to the necessary consents), making this an excellent opportunity for those looking to create a long-term family home in this highly sought-after neighbourhood.

This wonderful home presents an exciting opportunity to modernise, extend, and create a bespoke family home in a prime Edinburgh location.
