Spacious four-bedroom detached villa set on a quiet Balerno street, offering genuinely family-sized rooms and a south-facing, well-stocked rear garden. The layout includes separate living and dining areas, an attached single garage with power and light, and private front and rear gardens — a solid platform for a growing family.
The property requires modernisation throughout: kitchen, bathroom, and decorative finishes are dated to mid‑late 20th century. It has warm air central heating and double glazing, but the single bathroom and overall floor area (approx. 1,001 sq ft) are modest for a four-bedroom home. EPC rating D and Council Tax Band F should be noted when budgeting ongoing costs.
For buyers willing to invest, there is clear potential to add value by updating interiors, reconfiguring ground-floor space or converting/extending the garage subject to planning. The location benefits from local shops, schools, good bus links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical everyday advantages for family life.
This home suits a family looking for space and future potential rather than a turnkey property. Budget for renovation and running costs, and consider scope for sensible extensions or internal remodelling to unlock the villa’s full value.
