A delightful semi-detached home in Trinity with generous gardens, a driveway, and scope to extend, nestled in the heart of this sought-after community.
Description
Set in the heart of Trinity, one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential areas, this charming two-bedroom semi-detached home offers generous proportions, period character, and fantastic potential for modernisation and extension (subject to the necessary consents). Built circa 1930, the property retains a wealth of original features, including bay windows and high ceilings, while benefiting from a private driveway and beautifully maintained gardens to the front, side, and south-facing rear.
The entrance hallway leads to the bright and spacious sitting room, which enjoys an attractive bay window overlooking the front garden. To the rear, the dining room offers an ideal space for entertaining, with direct access to the kitchen, which is positioned to the side of the property. A conservatory extends from the kitchen, overlooking the rear garden.
On the first floor, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both flooded with natural light. The shower room and a separate WC complete this level.
A Ramsay Ladder leads to the converted attic, which is currently used as an additional space but offers exciting potential for full development, subject to planning.
Externally, the home enjoys a generous plot with private gardens wrapping around three sides. The south-facing rear garden is particularly appealing, offering a secluded retreat with mature planting. The property also benefits from a private driveway to the front, providing convenient off-street parking.
There is significant scope to extend to the rear, side, or into the attic, as seen in similar properties in the area (subject to the necessary consents), making this an excellent opportunity for those looking to create a long-term family home in this highly sought-after neighbourhood.
This wonderful home presents an exciting opportunity to modernise, extend, and create a bespoke family home in a prime Edinburgh location.
Location
Afton Terrace is located in the Trinity district of Edinburgh with a fine array of family houses.
The area of Trinity is a very popular residential district located a short distance north of the city centre. This wonderful family home lies within walking distance of local amenities and shopping facilities on Granton Road, Newhaven Road or at nearby Goldenacre. Large supermarkets can be found at Canonmills and on Ferry Road. There are several parks within close proximity and pleasant walks can also be enjoyed along the Forth waterfront and The Water of Leith Walkway.
A convenient cycle path can be found on Wardie Road providing traffic free travel to the city centre, supermarkets and to Victoria Park with its endless walking/cycling opportunities.
Local amenities include sailing at Granton and the David Lloyd Leisure Centre at Western Harbour.
The area is particularly well served from an educational point of view with a choice of nurseries, Wardie Primary School and Trinity Academy as well as the Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College, George Heriots, Erskine Stuart’s Melville Schools and St George’s for Girls.
There are good transport links with local bus services (numbers 8, 23 and 27) providing direct routes to the city centre, an extensive network of cycle paths and convenient road access westwards to the City Bypass, Edinburgh Business Park, Edinburgh Airport and beyond to the Central Scotland Motorway Network.
Square Footage: 1,180 sq ft
