2a Waverley Road offers a rare opportunity to purchase a detached bungalow within the highly sought-after Midlothian conservation village of Eskbank. Positioned on an attractive street, the property is peacefully set back from the road via a private gated driveway and is surrounded by beautifully maintained wraparound gardens.
Built around forty years ago, this relatively modern home benefits from double glazing and gas central heating. Its practical design and flexible layout will appeal to a variety of buyers, including families and downsizers.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by an entrance hall leading to the sitting room and separate kitchen. The sitting room enjoys a bright triple aspect and features sliding doors opening onto a garden patio. Both the kitchen and adjoining utility room are fitted with matching cabinetry, with space in the kitchen for casual dining.
There are four bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while a family bathroom off the hallway serves the remaining rooms. A large attic provides excellent storage.
The delightful walled gardens are beautifully kept, featuring a large, predominantly south-east facing lawn, mature borders, a sunny patio, greenhouse, summerhouse, garden shed and established fruit and vegetable beds. A substantial double garage is equipped with an electric up-and-over door, vehicle inspection pit, lighting, plentiful power sockets, and ample space for a workshop or additional storage. The generous driveway comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles.
