5 Wester Row, Hermiston, Edinburgh, EH14 4AG

Dating from around 1875, 5 Wester Row is a charming mid-terraced cottage set within a small row of traditional homes surrounded by open countryside in the Hermiston conservation area. Enjoying a semi-rural setting while remaining well placed for local amenities, the property offers three bedrooms, flexible living space and a generous private garden. The nearby Union Canal provides lovely opportunities for walking and cycling, while the surrounding area offers a range of everyday amenities within easy reach. Although now requiring some upgrading, with its appealing cottage character, countryside outlook and well-connected location, the property is likely to appeal to a variety of buyers.

The entrance to the property is accessed from the rear and leads into a hallway from which the kitchen, sitting room and upstairs accommodation are accessed. The sitting room is a cosy space with a wood-burning stove set within an attractive timber fireplace. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a good range of wall and base-mounted cabinetry, incorporating an electric hob and double oven, with timber worktops and open shelving adding character.

A staircase, fitted with a stairlift, leads up to the first floor where three double bedrooms and a shower room can be found. There is also a large storage cupboard on the landing and a walk-in-wardrobe off the third bedroom.

Outside, the garden provides a generous and established setting, with paved areas for outdoor seating, mature planting and shrubs, creating a number of pleasant places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. A ramp provides access up to the garden, while a particularly large shed/workshop with power and light offers excellent space for hobbies, storage or practical projects. There is space for parking to the rear of the cottage, together with further on-street parking.

The property is fitted with oil-fired central heating.
