145 Colinton Road is a handsome bay-fronted townhouse that offers period charm and modern elegance, with two floors of versatile and light-filled accommodation. Retaining original features whilst being restored to a very high standard.

The charming entrance vestibule with its in-keeping original Victorian mosaic tiled flooring and stained-glass window opens to an airy hallway with a stairway to the first floor and a cloakroom and utility/airing cupboard. The sitting room looks out over the large front garden via its triple bay sash window with ornate ceiling cornice, polished exposed wood flooring, a store cupboard and a cast-iron, marble and slate feature fireplace. The accommodation flows through into a spacious and sociable 20 ft. family room/dining area, with tall corniced ceilings, wood floors, and a brick-built fireplace. The space enjoys pretty views and original shuttered French doors opening to the attractive garden. From here the sleek and light-filled contemporary kitchen and breakfast room with its wide range of glossy neutral minimalist cabinetry, underfloor heating and luxury integrated appliances, also opens to the rear garden. Completing the floor is a high-specification shower room with a wide walk-in glazed shower, underfloor heating and Italian styling including a fitted vanity, marble surfaces and a heated towel rail.

The lofty first-floor landing with skylight branches off onto four charming bedrooms with various tasteful features of the period, including the bay-fronted principal with its fitted wardrobes and feature fireplace and an adjacent bedroom which is also ideal as a home office. The two rear-facing bedrooms enjoy garden aspects, whilst a well-appointed family bathroom, also with Italian features and styling, concludes the accommodation. This has concealed storage, Italian Murano wall lighting, a heated towel rail and original skylight whilst also providing attic storage access.

The property benefits from a striking frontage and is well set back from the road, with a paved pathway leading up to the main entrance, beside which is a neat enclosed level lawn and small gravelled front terrace. A selection of choice trees and shrubs adorn the space.

The well-sized south-facing rear private garden comprises a paved dining terrace and seating area, with a rear stone wall and steps flowing up to the lush level lawn. A range of mature planting, climbers and trees surround the plot. There is ample on-street parking available.
