Tucked within a peaceful cul-de-sac in sought-after Craiglockhart, 8 Elliot Gardens is a substantial and versatile five-bedroom detached house, offering flexible living, a private driveway, garage, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a spacious sitting room with gas fire and sliding doors leading out to a raised deck. The kitchen, while traditional in style, is highly practical with excellent worktop space and an open-plan dining area overlooking the garden. A bright sun room to the rear provides further access outside. The ground floor is also home to a generous principal bedroom, a flexible dining room or fifth bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Upstairs, three bedrooms provide excellent flexibility. The largest is a twin room with built-in wardrobes whilst the two rear-facing rooms benefit from open views and offer the potential to be reconfigured into a generous double by removing the wall between them (subject to any required consents). A fully tiled shower room with steam function, a separate WC, and extensive eaves storage complete the upper floor.
There are lovely private gardens to both the front and rear with the rear garden enjoying a raised deck, paved seating area, neat lawn, apple tree, greenhouse and garden shed. The single garage, with power and light, can be accessed from the garden and there is also a gravel driveway.
Gas central heating and quality double glazing are fitted throughout.
