This substantial detached bungalow in Ravelston offers exceptionally generous accommodation across a single storey plus large floored attic — ideal for families seeking flexible living and scope to create extra bedrooms or home working space. The main floor features a bright bay-fronted lounge, separate family/dining room that could serve as a ground-floor bedroom, and a fitted kitchen opening to a south-west facing rear garden that catches afternoon sun.
The house retains attractive period character: bay window, tiled fireplaces and parquet flooring. Practical features include gas central heating, partial double glazing, a large single garage, and off-street parking for two to three cars. The floored loft with skylights and extensive eaves storage offers excellent development potential subject to planning and building consents.
The property is offered as freehold and needs a programme of modernisation throughout — the vendor states appliances and soft furnishings are included but no warranties are provided. Buyers should expect renovation costs to update kitchens, bathrooms, and internal finishes; partial double glazing and dated fittings mean improvement work will deliver strong value. Council tax is described as quite expensive and should be factored into ongoing costs.
Situated close to Craigleith Retail Park, Stockbridge and good schools, this home suits families who want a roomy, characterful house in an established suburb with excellent local amenities and transport links. Investors or renovators will also recognise the upside from loft conversion and reconfiguration, but must allow for planning, consent and refurbishment budgets.
