Craigleith Road, Edinburgh

An impressive and beautifully presented three-bedroom main-door lower villa, occupying a highly sought-after position in Craigleith. In excellent condition throughout, the property combines generous proportions with stylish, contemporary interiors, and is further enhanced by a superb modern extension leading straight out onto a private south facing back garden.

The main-door entrance opens into a welcoming vestibule and central hallway, from which the principal accommodation is accessed. To the front is a particularly generous principal bedroom with an attractive bay window, while the second double bedroom is also positioned to the front and offers excellent proportions. A spacious third double bedroom sits quietly to the rear, providing flexibility for family living, guests or use as a home office. The accommodation is completed by a well-appointed bathroom and a separate utility area, providing valuable additional storage and practicality.

A particular highlight of the property is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space to the rear. Formed as part of a modern extension, this impressive room creates a wonderfully sociable heart to the home, with ample space for cooking, dining and relaxing. The contemporary kitchen is arranged around a central island, while the extended living area enjoys a strong connection with the garden and features a cosy wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point and making this an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The private south-facing back garden is another significant feature and gives the property a particularly appealing sense of independence that is rarely found with traditional Edinburgh flats. Accessed straight from the kitchen via bi-folding doors, the garden allows the property to offer many of the advantages associated with a house while retaining the ease and convenience of single-level living.
