Forming part of the well-established and popular residential Buckstone area of south Edinburgh, 6 Buckstone Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house with its own front and back gardens and off-street parking to the rear of the property.

It now requires updating and, therefore, offers an opportunity to the purchaser to interpret the house in the way they would choose, thus making it an ideal home.

The front door opens onto a small hall that offers access to both the living room and the stair leading to the first floor. The bright, east facing, living room has a large under the stair cupboard and a feature fire place. The kitchen adjoins the living room and benefits from a door leading out to the back garden. It is fitted with both floor and wall mounted storage units, work surfaces with tiled splashbacks and also houses the gas fired boiler.

There are two comfortable bedrooms, the larger having a built-in wardrobe. The naturally lit bathroom has a three-piece suite. There is a ceiling hatch that gives access to the attic space. The house has gas fired central heating and a combination of single and double glazing.

The front garden is primarily grassed, with a path leading to the front door. The back garden, with views to The Pentlands, is enclosed by a wooden panelled fence each side and a wrought iron fence and gate at the foot that leads to the off-road parking. Again, for the most part, it is grassed with the addition of various plants, shrubs, a Cordyline australis Palm, other small trees and useful garden shed. There is a metalled road at the southern end of the terrace that leads round to the off-street parking behind the terrace.
