Pentland Avenue, Colinton, Edinburgh, EH13

A stone-built semi-detached family home on the sought-after Pentland Avenue, offering five bedrooms, generous period accommodation, and lovely Southerly views towards the Pentland Hills

Description

4 Pentland Avenue is a handsome stone-built semi-detached family home occupying a highly desirable position in one of Edinburgh’s most established residential addresses. Extending to approximately 2,150 sq ft, the property offers generous and flexible accommodation arranged over two levels.

The house retains a great deal of character and charm, with particularly impressive proportions, high ceilings and attractive period detailing. A vestibule opens into a welcoming central hall, from which the principal accommodation flows. To the front, the elegant bay-windowed sitting room is a delightful reception space, filled with natural light and centred around a handsome fireplace. Also on the ground floor is a separate study, ideal for home working, together with a useful WC.

To the rear, the spacious kitchen/dining room provides an excellent footprint for modern family life and is complemented by a utility room and shower room. A further double bedroom on this level offers valuable flexibility and could equally serve as an additional public room, playroom or guest accommodation.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms together with a family bathroom. From the upper floor, the property enjoys attractive open views in the direction of the Pentland Hills, enhancing the sense of space and setting.

While the house has been clearly well cared as a family home over the years, it would now benefit from a programme of upgrading and modernisation. As such, it represents an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to create a superb family home in a prime Edinburgh location, tailored to their own specification and style.

Externally, the property is further enhanced by a bright garden and a garage to the rear.
