A substantial detached bungalow occupying a peaceful and discreet setting, with generous lateral accommodation, beautifully mature gardens and its own private tennis court.

Description

19 Pentland Avenue, formerly Glenfora Lodge and the coach house is a rarely available detached bungalow, discreetly positioned on a highly sought-after road and set within beautifully mature, expansive gardens. Offering over 2,100 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation, the property combines generous lateral living with exceptional outdoor space, including a private tennis court, an increasingly rare feature within the city.

The accommodation is arranged across a single level, centred around a welcoming hallway which provides access to all principal rooms. Of particular note is the impressive sitting room, where a striking vaulted timber ceiling and wood-burning stove create a warm and characterful focal point. Large windows and glazed doors ensure a strong connection with the gardens, filling the space with natural light.

Flowing naturally from the reception space is a dining room and adjoining family room, offering flexible living and entertaining accommodation. The kitchen is well-proportioned and positioned conveniently to serve the main living areas, while a superb sunroom extends along the rear elevation. This space enjoys a bright, south-facing aspect and offers an ideal setting for informal dining or relaxation, with direct access to the garden.

The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, incorporating a dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom. A utility room, WC and excellent storage complete the internal accommodation.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. The mature garden grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established trees and planting, offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A private tennis court provides an outstanding recreational feature, while a generous driveway leads to a detached double garage, offering ample off-street parking.

Overall, the property presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial bungalow with outstanding potential in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential settings.
