69 Pentland Terrace, Braids, Edinburgh, EH10 6HG

This substantial four-bedroom detached bungalow is well-located within the much sought-after Braids district of south Edinburgh. The property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile home that will appeal equally to families seeking generous, immaculately presented accommodation and to those looking for the convenience of living on one level. 

Extending to over 2,300 square feet (215sqm), the layout offers excellent flexibility. At its heart is a truly impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, expertly designed to suit modern living. The stylish kitchen is fitted with extensive cabinetry, Bosch dishwasher,  Smeg range, double fridge and double freezer as well as a large island with a breakfast bar. A comfortable seating area with wood effect gas stove adjoins the kitchen. Completing the space is a beautifully bright dining area which opens directly onto a decked terrace that is perfect for al fresco entertaining.

A separate, more formal sitting room adds further living space and is an elegant retreat, featuring sliding doors to the garden and a living flame fire with surround.

The principal bedroom is a particularly generous room with the luxury of a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room with underfloor heating. Three further double bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation, and with minor alteration, by reinstating the link between the dressing room and bedroom two, a fifth bedroom could easily be created if required. The bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom with corner bath and walk-in shower. There is also a handy WC and a practical utility room.  Useful storage is available off the hall and within the partially floored loft.

The garden is a real highlight of this home. Secure, private, and beautifully maintained, it features expansive lawns, mature planting, two apple trees and two useful garden sheds as well as a delightful summerhouse with surrounding deck which makes the most of a particularly sunny corner. Electric gates provide access to the driveway which offers parking for multiple vehicles.

The property is fitted with double glazing and gas central heating that is operated by a Nest heating system.
