Description
75 Colinton Road is a well-presented semi-detached family home offering wonderfully light and generously proportioned accommodation set over three floors, and extending to around 4440 sq ft in total. The property has been successfully modernised to cater perfectly for modern family living and yet blends contemporary fixtures and fittings with a range of charming original features throughout the house. With predominantly north and south facing aspects, the property benefits from plenty of natural light throughout the day.
The front door opens to a broad and welcoming reception hall from where the principal reception and living space is accessed and the original timber stair rises to the upper floors. The elegant bay windowed sitting room is situated to the front of the house and has a handsome mantelpiece with a living flame gas fire. The dining room is set to the rear of the house and is a particularly bright, south facing room and again there is a gas fire within a handsome fireplace. The family room is a very comfy and practical space with a log-burning stove making it very cosy in the winter months. The room leads through to the exceptionally bright and well-appointed kitchen, with steps down to the glazed breakfast room with doors to the garden. There is a large utility room off the kitchen. There is also direct access into the integral garage, with plenty of storage, from the ground floor.
The stair rises to the first floor where there are four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is set to the rear of the house with a delightful outlook over the garden, and benefits from an en suite bathroom with a dressing area and plenty of storage and built-in wardrobes. The three other generous and bright double bedrooms share a family shower room also on this floor. The stair continues on up to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms, a study and a further storage room or double bedroom. One of these bedrooms is currently used as a playroom. There is also a further shower room at this level.
The house is set back from the road and is screened by a mature hedge as well as remote controlled electric gate, which opens to provide off-street parking for up to four cars, and leads to the integral garage as well as to the front door. Immediately to the rear of the house there is a terrace, ideal for sitting out to enjoy the sunlight throughout the day, and which leads onto the generous south facing central lawn. The lawn is surrounded by well-stocked flower beds with a range of mature shrubs and plants providing lots of colour for much of the year. The garden is a remarkably private and tranquil space.
In addition, proprietors are entitled to a key to the extensive and wonderfully private Merchiston Gardens and are obliged to pay a modest annual fee of c. £75.
