3 bedroom apartment

A charming upper flat within a substantial detached Victorian villa in the heart of one of Edinburgh's most sought after residential areas.

Description

8 Corrennie Gardens is a stunning upper flat occupying the first floor of an impressive detached Victorian villa offering generous room sizes, extensive storage and natural light throughout. Located in Morningside, one of the most desirable parts of Edinburgh, it boasts a glorious south and west facing garden, a tandem garage and driveway. There is a large, full-height loft above that could be converted to provide additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

The property has the rare benefit of a ground floor, main door entrance with an internal staircase leading from a welcoming vestibule.

Ascending to the first floor, the accommodation radiates from a central hall and offers flexible living throughout. To the front is the exquisite drawing room with stunning cornice and a bay window overlooking the street below and with panoramic view over the city to Edinburgh Castle.

To the rear, with an equally pleasant outlook, the elegant dining room leads to a well appointed kitchen with views to the south and the Pentland Hills.

There are three double bedrooms one of which currently serves as a study.

In addition there is a family bathroom. The property further benefits from a utility space and separate W.C adjacent to the kitchen.

The property would benefit from modernisation, offering the opportunity to create your own home. There is also scope to extend the property into the existing loft space which is generously sized, subject to obtaining the required consents.

Externally, the glorious rear garden is private and secure with substantial lawn and patio areas, and a variety of colourful shrubs within the flowerbeds.

The property further benefits from a tandem garage and off-street parking on the shared driveway.
