12 Cockburn Crescent, Balerno, EH14 7EN

Set just a stone’s throw from a bus stop with a regular No. 44 service to the city centre, 12 Cockburn Crescent is a well-proportioned and rarely available two-bedroom link-attached bungalow enjoying superb open views towards the Pentland Hills and the surrounding countryside.

Internally, the accommodation is presented in neutral tones throughout, offering a blank canvas for modernisation and personalisation. To the front, the bright and spacious living room benefits from a large picture window framing the open outlook and flooding the room with natural light. A central fireplace with electric fire provides an attractive focal point.

To the rear, the fitted kitchen offers a range of wall and base units and remains fully functional, while presenting excellent scope for upgrading or potential extension (subject to the necessary planning consents), as seen with similar properties on the street incorporating the garage space. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and feature fitted wardrobes, complemented by additional hallway storage. The integral garage, complete with an electric up-and-over door, provides valuable storage and includes plumbing to the rear for a washing machine, creating a practical utility area.

Externally, the property boasts well-maintained private gardens to both the front and rear. The front garden is designed for low maintenance, laid mainly with decorative stone and mature planting, while the driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles and access to the garage. The rear garden is attractively landscaped with areas of lawn, patio, a pond and established shrub beds, all enclosed by timber fencing to provide a secure and private setting.
