Dating back to the 1880’s, this charming B-Listed double upper villa is fabulously situated just a stone’s throw from the West End and Haymarket. Benefitting from its own private entrance, this wonderful home enjoys a tranquil, residential setting in the desirable Dalry Colonies conservation area. In recent years, the current owners have carried out an extensive renovation of the property which has included a new kitchen, bathroom and sash & case double glazed windows. The improvements have been carried out sympathetically to retain the character and period features within the home.
Approached via an external stone staircase, shared with one other property, the flat’s private front door opens into a vestibule, leading into an inviting entrance hall with under stair storage. The sitting room is a relaxing space which has a wood burning stove and stripped wooden flooring. To the rear, there is a spacious kitchen/dining room which remains home to an original stove that makes a wonderful feature within the room. The fitted kitchen is presented with shaker style cabinetry, Belfast sink and oak worktops as well as integrated appliances. One of the three bedrooms is also situated on first floor.
On the upper level, there are two further double bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is particularly spacious and boasts built-in wardrobes and an original fireplace. On the opposite side of the landing, bedroom 3 is currently used as a home office and guest bedroom. There is a stylish bathroom with three piece suite that has been decorated with a fresh, white look and it is beautifully bright thanks to the skylight above. A loft offers some valuable additional storage space. The property is fitted with gas central heating operated by a modern boiler and there are double glazed sash and case windows.
The delightful private garden positioned to the front of the property, is level and fully enclosed. It features a manicured lawn, paved seating area and under-stair storage cupboard. Permit parking is available nearby.
