129 Captains Road, Liberton, Edinburgh, EH17 8DT

129 Captains Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained detached bungalow, set on a generous plot with a spacious driveway, detached garage, and a sun-drenched south-facing rear garden. This highly sought-after home has been thoughtfully updated and offers a blend of comfort, style, and practicality.

The accommodation is bright and inviting, beginning with an entrance vestibule that opens into a welcoming hallway. The living room benefits from a large bay window that fills the space with natural light, complemented by a charming wood-burning stove that serves as a central feature. The kitchen has been comprehensively upgraded in 2023/24 and includes integrated appliances such as an induction hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, all of which are included in the sale.

A well-proportioned, insulated conservatory extends the living space and provides a delightful view of the enclosed rear garden. The home offers three comfortable bedrooms, including a front-facing principal bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, two rear-facing doubles, and a modern shower room fitted with a mains-operated shower, also installed in 2023.

Additional benefits include a spacious, floored and insulated attic, ideal for storage or potential conversion, gas central heating with new radiators, and double glazing throughout. The front garden is thoughtfully landscaped with mature shrubs, while the driveway and detached garage provide excellent parking and storage solutions. The rear garden is a true feature, with three mature apple trees, a productive kitchen garden, a rhubarb patch, and a recently re-roofed shed measuring 5m x 1.4m, all within a secure, enclosed space.
