Spylaw Park, Colinton, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH13

Architecturally designed family home with south facing garden and secure off street parking, located in the sought after Colinton area.

Description

16 Spylaw Park presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire an exceptional family home with beautiful south facing garden, in one of Edinburgh’s prime residential locations.

The property is approached via a generous monobloc driveway offering parking for several cars and access to a double car port. A tiled porch opens into an entrance vestibule and then a bright, spacious reception hall.

To the front, the accommodation enjoys an open plan flow, thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners. The dining room is a generous and versatile space, ideal for both day to day living and entertaining. Adjacent is the bright kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of wall and base units and quality integrated appliances including a double oven, recently installed fridge/freezer and high spec dishwasher. Both rooms connect seamlessly to the striking sitting room/sun room, a stunning, light filled space with windows on all sides and sliding doors opening directly onto the south facing garden.

A utility room off the kitchen leads to a walk in pantry with direct access to the workshop and the front and rear gardens. With its independent access and adaptable lighting, the workshop provides an excellent opportunity for a studio or professional workspace while keeping home and work lives clearly defined.

The principal bedroom is a beautifully bright and generously proportioned retreat, enjoying a tranquil outlook over the rear garden. It benefits from extensive fitted storage and a sleek, contemporary en suite, complete with underfloor heating and a walk-in shower. Two further spacious double bedrooms, along with a stylish family bathroom, also featuring underfloor heating, complete the ground floor. This level is further enhanced by a separate WC and excellent additional storage throughout.

Upstairs, a spectacular drawing room occupies the majority of the first floor, offering a superb space for entertaining and direct access to a large roof terrace, offering elevated views towards the Pentland Hills. This is a truly idyllic spot. A partially floored attic provides additional storage and potential for further accommodation and a fourth bedroom or home office complete the first floor accommodation.

Externally, the south facing garden is a true highlight, beautifully maintained with mature shrubs and plants selected to bloom throughout the year. Fruit trees and multiple seating areas make the most of sunlight at different times of day.

The house has been architecturally designed, and with the previous owner being an interior designer, it showcases exceptional attention to detail throughout. Particular care has been taken in the positioning of windows and the use of natural light, so that when the property is viewed externally, both clockwise and anticlockwise, artwork and interior features are revealed and illuminated differently from each angle.

As a Heatkeeper Home, it benefits from high insulation wall panels with fully sealed joints to minimise heat loss, alongside a continuous Rexovent air circulation system that maintains a fresh and comfortable environment.
