5 bedroom detached house

Situated on a quiet, 'no through' street within the desirable area of Fairmilehead, this is a substantial detached house which enjoys a stunning outlook with superb views of the Pentland Hills. Although well-maintained throughout, the property now requires some modernisation and redecoration but has the potential to be a fantastic family home in a enviable location.

Having been extended over the years and with further potential to extend or reconfigure, the accommodation on offer is incredibly versatile. With private access options from the garden, the studio/family room and mezzanine level above with shower room, could be modified to form a fantastic annex. The sauna and jacuzzi are not currently operational.  

There are a grand total of five public rooms throughout the property including an impressive, dual aspect living room, adjoining formal dining room, breakfast room, study and the aforementioned studio space. There is a large, bright open plan kitchen with dining area that leads to a handy utility room and and there is also a WC.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms on each side of the house with the principle bedroom having the benefit of a modern en suite whilst the two rooms on the opposite side have direct access to an open terrace. The family bathroom is much larger than average and features a corner bath and separate shower cubicle. 

Gas central heating is operated by a modern boiler and the property is fitted with double glazing.

There are extensive gardens surrounding the property which offer exceptional views to the Pentland Hills. The tranquil garden grounds are highly private and comprise a large lawn and patio, mature trees and hedging, well-stocked borders, pond with water feature and a summer house. 

There is a double garage with electric, up and over doors. With light and power, the garages provide excellent storage and workshop space, but also offers an excellent opportunity for conversion. The large driveway to front is capable of accommodating multiple vehicles.
