Set in a quiet residential street just a mile from Edinburgh’s West End, this three-bedroom semi-detached home suits families seeking space near the city centre. The ground floor offers a sunny south-facing living/dining room, a dual-aspect breakfasting kitchen with garden access, and a downstairs bedroom with an en-suite wet room — useful for multigenerational living or as a guest room.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms with built-in storage, a family bathroom with shower-over-bath, and a versatile snug that works well as a home office or children’s play area. A floored attic with stair access provides genuine potential for conversion into extra living space, subject to planning permission (STPP).
Practical advantages include private off-street parking for multiple cars, gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband. The property is offered freehold with included fitted floor and window coverings and light fittings.
Notable points to consider: the house displays mid‑20th century fittings and some external pebble-dash which will likely need modernisation and cosmetic updating. Council tax is described as expensive, and the wider area classification indicates pockets of deprivation despite a local population of highly qualified professionals. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs and any planning approval timescales for attic development.
