Garden Cottage is a peaceful, attractive, detached 4 bedroom gated family house set within a Nature Reserve only 3 miles from Edinburgh’s City Centre, offering the perfect blend of country serenity and City living.
The property is approached via a private driveway culminating in a large parking area adjacent to the rear of the property. The accommodation is accessed through the glass porch at the front of the house and leading into the hallway. The sitting room to the front of the house enjoys great views and a gas coal effect fireplace leading into the expansive dining kitchen with electric Aga cooker and doors to a patio. Also on this floor is a study which has also served as a bedroom. There is also a shower room and utility/boot room.
Upstairs, off the landing are three double bedrooms, principle bedroom with en-suite shower room. All the bedrooms benefit from stunning views. Additionally there is a family bathroom complete with corner bath with shower over.
Internally, the property further benefits from good storage and double glazing. Externally, the central rising steps of the rear garden lead up to the extensive lawned garden and newly installed pod. The pod is spacious and has electricity making it ideal for a home office and gym.
Garden Cottage is situated to the North West of Edinburgh’s city centre on the wooded slopes of Corstorphine Hill. The immediate area is well served by public transport and given the situation of the property, is well placed for access to the airport (a mere 15 minute drive) and principal road links connecting the City.
The area of Corstorphine offers shops catering for everyday needs, including a 24 hour Tesco supermarket, whilst more comprehensive retail requirements can be catered for at the nearby Gyle Shopping Centre and at the retail park in Craigleith. Mary Erskine School, Stewarts Melville, The Royal High School and St Georges School are all situated locally as are The Royal Burgess and Murrayfield golf courses and David Lloyd Leisure Centre. Close by are beaches at Cramond and South Queensferry, the Pentland Hills, numerous parks and canal and riverside walks.
