5 bedroom detached house

A handsome, detached five bedroom villa in the popular area of Colinton set in a large and mature plot of about a third of an acre, with driveway and garage.

Description

Chaos, 41 Woodhall Road, is a wonderful family home offering versatile and generous accommodation on two floors in this exceptionally popular and renowned residential area, located only a few miles to the south-west of Edinburgh’s city centre.

The property is well laid out with extremely generous public rooms and comfortable and spacious bedrooms, perfect for both entertaining and everyday family life.

Entered through a vestibule into a large, welcoming hallway (which serves as an entertaining space in its own right), one is immediately met with a sense of warmth and character. To the left is a study overlooking the front drive. The hallway then opens to provide access to the kitchen, dining room, and sitting room.

The latter of these is a delightful, bright space overlooking the beautiful rear garden, benefiting from full-width glazing and a door to the rear deck and garden beyond, which brings the outside in. There is also a working fireplace for cosy winter nights.
Adjacent to the sitting room is the well-appointed kitchen offering space for a large table and boasting ample surfaces and storage. The utility room is located off, providing additional access to the rear.

The dining room is situated to the front of the house and could, given its situation, be knocked through to the kitchen allowing a fantastic open plan space (subject to acquiring the necessary consents).

A more casual family room is located on the other side of the house, also overlooking the front drive.

The comfortable principal suite is peacefully set to the back with a pleasant outlook over the rear garden with a well-appointed shower room off.

Rounding out the ground floor is a W.C, a generous cloakroom and an under-stair cupboard.

An attractive staircase leads to the first-floor landing and hallway, off which are located four more double bedrooms. Completing the first floor are the family bathroom, an additional shower room and a linen store.

The house and gardens face south and are flooded with sunlight throughout the day. The gardens are beautifully manicured, with expanses of lawn, planted borders and mature hedges and trees offering shade and privacy. There are two patio areas with ample space for an outdoor table and chairs as well as a summer house, shed and stores. There is a gated driveway with space for at least four cars and a double garage.
