Property description

This traditional, three-bedroom, townhouse in Morningside represents a charming family home, enjoying a leafy green setting, positioned within easy reach of excellent amenities and regular public transport links for a swift commute into the city centre. Flanked by private gardens, the property further benefits from generously proportioned accommodation and neutral interiors, including a bay-windowed living room, a modern dining kitchen, and a contemporary bathroom.

Inside, an entrance hall welcomes you in, before flowing naturally into the living room, where spacious dimensions are complimented by crisp decor and the warm glow of a hardwood floor. This inviting reception area accommodates a wide choice of comfy furnishings; plus, it is framed by a handsome feature fireplace and bathed in sunlight from a bay window. Next door, the dining kitchen is to the south-facing rear, offering garden access and ample floorspace for a table and chairs. It spans the entire width of the home and enjoys a modern style, fitted with cream-coloured cabinets and chunky wooden worktops. The kitchen also houses an integrated gas hob and eye-level double oven, with space for a freestanding fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, and plumbing for a washing machine in the built-in cupboard. Upstairs leads to two double bedrooms. The rear-facing bedroom enjoys varnished wooden floorboards, whereas the front-facing one has a soft carpet, built-in storage, and a bay window for an airy ambience. The bathroom is also on this floor, fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite (and overhead shower) that is enveloped in attractive slate-style tiling. On the naturally-lit second floor, there is further storage and the master bedroom, which is well-proportioned and supplemented by eaves storage. Exposed ceiling beams, stripped wooden floorboards, and dual-aspect windows add the finishing touch to this principal bedroom. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure a warm and cost-effective environment all year round.

Externally, the property is flanked by a low-maintenance front garden and a south-facing rear garden. The latter is fully enclosed and offers a patio and a lawn. Parking is on-street and conveniently unrestricted along Craighouse Terrace.

Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale. The fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine may be available by separate negotiation.
