Spacious and characterful cottage with large end terrace plot including private garden and multi-car off-street parking

Description

17 Station Road is a unique terraced cottage in the picturesque village setting of Kirkliston. With the original building dating back to the 1840's and then more recently extended in 2006, this charming, stone built home has wonderful character, while offering generous proportions and flexible accommodation throughout.

The accommodation is set out across two spacious floors. Access is available through the kitchen from the driveway and from the main street. The main street entrance has mature hedging for privacy screening and conveys you into the welcoming entrance hallway.

Entering the living room there are many original features that continue throughout the home, including traditional window settings and fireplaces that fill the property with character. The seller has upgraded the windows with additional glazing for enhanced energy efficiency, also ensuring the home is quiet throughout.

The large open-plan dining and kitchen space is light and spacious, making it a wonderful heart of the home - ideal for family life or entertaining. The kitchen has been upgraded to an excellent standard with granite countertops, modern appliances and ample storage. Direct access to the carport and rear garden is perfect for spending time outside in warmer weather. The large built-in additional cupboard storage has been cleverly designed to house the utility and boiler for a more tidy, functional space.

The large primary bedroom is accessed through a dedicated stairwell located off the dining space. It enjoys a beautiful view of the rear garden through a charming bay style window. There is a built in wardrobe and plentiful room for freestanding furniture. A well-presented en-suite compliments the space.
There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor, both have options to be used flexibly as additional living space given their full proportions. A large family bathroom housing a separate bath and shower is conveniently located for both bedrooms.

Moving upstairs there are two further double bedrooms, both enjoying a beautiful garden outlook through charming bay windows. Both have fantastic storage space.
Situated between both bedrooms on the landing is a separate study space, which could lend itself well to a potential additional W.C to benefit the bedrooms.

The property enjoys a tranquil position despite being in the village centre, sitting within its own walled garden. A gated entrance opens into a stone driveway leading to the front door. There is a separate generous garden space with decking and lawn, and includes a traditional stone store shed, that could be upgraded to offer a variety of additional uses.
