Well presented family home with a rural setting very close to Edinburgh city centre

Description

Kiershill is a bright and appealing home with spacious accommodation laid out over a single level. The front door to the property is on the south side of the house adjacent to a large parking area. As well as a vestibule there is a generously sized hallway which gives access throughout the house. The sitting room is dual aspect with views over the garden and surrounding fields. As well as French doors to the patio there is an open fire which provides additional warmth in the winter months.

The kitchen is a generous space with more than enough room for a good sized dining table. Adjacent there is a further reception room which could be utilised as a more formal dining room or a second sitting room / family room. A utility room also sits off the kitchen and there are doors out to the west deck from here as well as from the kitchen.

Off the main hallway a further hallway services the four bedrooms. There is a spacious coat cupboard as well as a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and all of the rooms have a good view over the garden and surrounding countryside. As well as the integrated storage throughout the house there is a loft accessed from the kitchen.

Immediately surrounding the house is the driveway and several patios and decks all overlooking the countryside and fields. The driveway loops around the front of the house and to the south a large lawn is enclosed by a well kept hedge. In the southwest corner of the garden is a summer house which has electricity. This is a useful space and could be utilised as a home office or children’s games room. There is a range of mature shrubs and trees throughout the garden as well as further garden sheds for storing bikes and gardening equipment.
