This extended detached bungalow offers spacious single‑storey living in Mountcastle, a comfortable suburb east of Edinburgh city centre. The layout includes two double bedrooms, three reception rooms, a floored attic study and generous overall floor area (approximately 1,431 sq ft), making it unusually large for a bungalow and well suited to downsizers seeking roomy accommodation without stairs between principal rooms.
The property has practical strengths: a south‑facing rear garden with patio, a single garage, driveway with EV charging point, gas central heating and double glazing. Good local amenities, frequent bus links, nearby green spaces and reputable schools are all within easy reach, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern working or streaming at home.
The house requires renovation and modernization throughout — cosmetic and systems upgrades will be needed to bring it to contemporary standards. The interior shows dated fittings and décor; the vendor notes the property needs renovation. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs and the property’s Council Tax Band F, which is high.
This bungalow offers clear potential: its size, garage and south garden provide a strong base for a tailored renovation. It will suit a buyer looking to downsize into a generous single‑storey home who is willing to invest in updating, or a buyer seeking a sympathetic project with scope to add value.
