Details
A bright and spacious two-bedroom detached home in one of the most sought-after areas of Edinburgh. Boasting front and back gardens (with a regular gardener included), secure outdoor storage and ample off-street parking, this property is ideal for those looking for a peaceful home within easy reach of the city centre. Furnishings are flexible. Available now!
The highlight of this property is its stunning outdoor space. The house has an enclosed front and rear garden. The front garden has two driveways, making parking multiple cars very straight-forward. It is enclosed by a well-trimmed hedge and original cast iron gates. Most of the front garden is decorative stone gravel (allowing for easy maintenance), but this is interspersed with a flower bed and shrubbery. The rear garden is connected to the front by side access on both the north and south side of the property. It has a great lawn space and mature flora around its permitter. There is also a large outdoor storage area beneath the main house which already hoses gardening equipment for tenant use, but that would also be perfect for storing bikes and other outdoor leisure equipment. There are also drying poles for hanging out clothes.
A glass door on a small, raised terrace connects the rear garden to the kitchen-diner. This terrace and the patio beneath it are south-westerly facing, making them perfect for enjoying an alfresco meal or a drink with friends in the sun.
The kitchen-diner is a great size. The abundance of natural light around the dining area (thanks to a bay window overlooking the rear garden) makes it well-suited for home-cooked meals. The kitchen is in a mid-century style with unique worktop and tiling patterns. It is equipped with all the essentials, including a washing machine, a two-door oven and a large fridge freezer. There is also a separate pantry area and utility cupboard for easy storage.
The large living room is adjacent to the kitchen area and is bursting with period features that are typical of an interwar property. These include a large bay window overlooking the front garden, a traditional press and a decorative fireplace with marble finishes. Like the kitchen-diner, this room has laminate flooring that makes for easy cleaning.
The front door to the property has a small vestibule that leads into a good-sized hall. This hall leads to the living room, bathroom and both bedrooms.
Both bedrooms are very spacious. The main bedroom has a large, fitted wardrobe with overhead storage, while both have an Edinburgh press, all being tucked behind original 1930s style doors.
The vintage bathroom has a shower over bath and inbuilt storage. A vinyl floor makes for easy cleaning a tiled surround makes for easy cleaning.
Blackhall is one of the most desired suburbs in Edinburgh. It is well-regarded for its quite suburban streets and greenery. There a several leisure facilities in the area including Ravelston Park, Ravelston Golf Club and Craigcrook Yard. Within a 10-minute walk you can find a pharmacy, hairdressers and a library. For an additional 5 minutes on foot, you can reach Davidson Mains, home to several takeaways, pubs and a Tesco Express. Craigleith Retail Park (with its Sainsbury’s, Pure Gym, Marks & Spencer, and other big-name shops) is only a 5-minute drive away.
Blackhall is also home to some of the best primary and secondary schools in the city, including Blackhall Primary and The Royal High School. This makes this house a great pick for a small family.
While the property is brilliantly suited for motorists (with the city centre only a 10–15-minute drive away), there are also great transport links in the area. Several regular bus services stop at nearby Hillhouse Road (10 minutes’ walk away) and these can get into the city centre in as little as 10 minutes. Additionally, you can use the picturesque Blackhall Path to cycle into the city in around 20 minutes.
