29 Fernielaw Avenue, Colinton, Edinburgh, EH13 0EF

Sat within the highly sort after residential area of Colinton. This substantial detached house was built in 1993 within the original grounds of the historic Fernielaw Estate. Along with Fernielaw House (no.35 and no. 37) and what was the old stables (no. 27) this property forms a small, established exclusive development. Bright and well maintained throughout, the house offers generous and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by delightful private gardens to the front, side and rear. A private driveway provides parking for several cars, together with a double garage.

The spacious vaulted sitting room is a particularly impressive reception space, with a wealth of natural light and a charming fireplace creating a comfortable focal point. Patio doors open directly onto the garden, making it an ideal room for relaxing and enjoying the outlook. The generously proportioned kitchen/dining room is fitted with a good range of wall and base-mounted cabinetry incorporating a hob, oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, with ample space for a table and chairs for informal dining. A separate dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen, providing a more formal setting for entertaining and enjoying views over the garden. A west-facing conservatory (accessed from the kitchen) provides an additional reception space from which to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons.

The ground floor further offers a double bedroom, a study with fitted desk and shelving, a useful utility room and a shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin.
Upstairs, the principal double bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a generous en-suite bathroom with corner bath, WC and wash hand basin. Two further double bedrooms also enjoy views over the garden, while a separate boxroom provides excellent additional storage. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The established private gardens are a particular feature of the property, extending to the front, side and rear and having been beautifully maintained over the years. Lawns, well-stocked flower beds, mature trees, hedging and a vegetable plot combine with a patio area and extended paving, offering different vantage points around the garden, creating a variety of spaces to enjoy as the seasons change. The property also benefits from a useful garage and a separate store, currently used as a workshop.
