3 bedroom apartment

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a generously proportioned lower villa in a prime Morningside address. The property is in need of some modernisation and has great potential to be adapted to suit a variety of owners, from downsizers to young families. The lateral nature of the accommodation gives a wonderful feeling of space and there is scope for as many as four bedrooms. The large central hall gives an immediate impression of the scale of the property and leads to the two principal receptions rooms to the front of the house, both of which are flooded with natural light due to the south-facing aspect.

The beautiful sitting room connects to a conservatory with a wonderful outlook for the garden. The library/office could also work well as a double bedroom. To the rear of the main ground floor are two bedrooms and a shower, while a further double bedroom with an en suite shower is accessed via a short flight of stairs. On the lower level, the panelled dining room can be found as can the kitchen which also provides the main garden access. Completing the accommodation on this floor is the utility room, a WC and excellent storage.

Outside, there is an unusually large garden with a lawn and mature trees and borders. It really is a magnificent amount of private garden to have in this popular residential part of Edinburgh. There is private off-street parking to the front of the house, as well as a garage. A garden store can be found behind the garage.

Features include:

• A main door, ground floor flat of a detached house.
• Unusually large private garden
• Beautiful period details
• Prime location near many of the city’s top schools
• Parking and garage

Church Hill is a quiet, leafy street situated in Morningside; one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential areas. The street is part of a conservation area just to the south of the city centre and is well-placed for access to the capital’s retail and commercial districts. There are excellent local shops, bistros, and bars in nearby Newington, Bruntsfield and Morningside, including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer’s.

The city centre is a short stroll across The Meadows, and both the King’s Theatre and Dominion Cinema are located close by. Local sporting facilities include several golf courses, the Royal Commonwealth Pool, Waverley Tennis and Sports Club and pleasant walks in the green, open spaces of the Hermitage of Braid, Arthur’s Seat and Blackford Hill.
