A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this exceptional and unique detached villa with impressive large garden, enjoying a tranquil setting in the charming village of Balerno.
Built in the late 1980’s this outstanding home has an enduring charm offering exceptional family accommodation in a much sought after location. The property has been lovingly maintained but would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, offering buyers the perfect opportunity to add value and put their own stamp on the accommodation. Providing the ideal setting for both family life and entertaining, the ground floor accommodation flows seamlessly. A welcoming reception hallway with window to the front of the house provides access to two large interconnecting reception rooms split by an inglenook fireplace. There is a generous kitchen/dining room overlooking the garden with a useful utility/boot room at the back. A 5th double bedroom on the ground floor offers flexible accommodation, suited to multiple uses. There is a guest cloakroom/WC and useful built-in storage space under the stairs. The stairs lead to a galleried landing on the first floor which offers excellent built-in storage space and a hatch giving access to further storage in the loft. The impressive principal bedroom is to the front of the house and has built-in wardrobes and a generous en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobe space, and a modern family shower room with four piece white suite. Further benefits include gas central heating and full double glazing.
Of particular note are the considerable private gardens which surround the home, with the rear garden enjoying an elevated position above the Bavelaw Burn providing a tranquil soundscape, and bordered by beautiful mature trees which offer a high degree of privacy. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with patio areas ideal for al fresco dining and with a summer house included in the sale. A large front garden sets the house back from the street and is again laid to lawn with mature shrub borders and pathway to the front door. A substantial driveway to the side of the property leads to the detached double garage. The garage has remote control doors, power, light and water supply and has a ladder leading to a large floored loft space/games room. The garage offers ample scope for conversion to become further accommodation subject to the usual planning and consents.
