The house is spread across two floors and is entered at the side of the property. The back door provides access to the office making it a great work from home space. There are numerous period features including Art Deco external lights, original sanded and sealed flooring in the hallway/ sitting/ dining room/ sunroom, together with fireplaces, cornicing and picture rails. Original pitch pine woodwork is an attractive feature throughout.
There is an excellent balance of accommodation including two glorious reception rooms and an architect designed sunroom connecting to the main sitting room. The beautiful hand painted Newcastle kitchen with black granite work surfaces looks over the garden and enjoys a double aspect. There is also an adjoining utility room. A cloakroom with WC completes the ground floor.
On the first floor there are five well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom incorporates an en suite with bath and walk in shower, whilst the family bathroom also has a walk in shower. Bedrooms two and five are cleverly adjoined by a play/ tv/ snug room. There is potential for extension into floored attic space, subject to necessary consents.
A gated driveway to the side of the front lawn leads to an area of hard standing and a detached double garage is set around the back of the house, allowing for the parking of multiple cars. There is also a EV charging point located at the rear of the house. The house sits centrally on the expansive plot, with rolling lawns to the front and the rear, and is enclosed on all sides by hedges providing privacy. The garden is well-maintained and has a selection of mature trees, shrubs and flowerbeds. In total, the plot measures approximately 0.5 acres.
The house is set in a quiet, leafy location very close to the historic thriving village of Colinton which provides a substantial range of local amenities. These include doctor and dentist surgeries, primary schools, a Co-op, post office and a library, with the nearby Tesco superstore and the Gyle Shopping Centre offering more comprehensive services. There are two family run restaurants within walking distance. The property lies within a convenient distance to the Edinburgh City Bypass, giving quick access to the M8 and Edinburgh Airport (8 miles). Regarding outdoor pursuits, Colinton Dell, the Pentland Hills, the Water of Leith Walkway and the Hillend Dry Ski Slope are all within a short distance, as is Kingsknowe golf course, a local tennis club and two racket sports clubs.
In addition to some well-rated State primary and secondary schools, Edinburgh boasts some of the country's finest day and boarding schools, with Merchiston Castle School located within the village of Colinton and both George Watson's College and George Heriot's School situated nearby.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
