Fantastic detached family home spanning over 2900 sqft, with off-street parking and generous gardens, located in the sought after Craiglockhart

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented detached bungalow, peacefully set back from the road in the highly desirable area of Craiglockhart. This exceptional family home offers flexible and spacious accommodation, complemented by extensive, well-maintained garden grounds.

Occupying a generous plot, the property benefits from a large driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles, along with a useful single garage.

On entering, a bright and welcoming reception hall leads to the thoughtfully arranged living spaces. At the front of the home, both the sitting room and living room enjoy east-facing aspects, with an abundance of natural light throughout the day. These rooms are versatile and well-suited for both relaxed living and entertaining.

The impressive dining room is notably generous in size, comfortably accommodating a large dining table, ideal for family gatherings or formal occasions. Adjacent to the dining room, the kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring extensive worktops, integrated appliances, and a wide range of wall and base units offering excellent storage. From the kitchen, stairs lead directly down to a spacious conservatory, enhancing the home’s connection to the garden.

Bedrooms three and four are located on the ground floor and are both comfortable in size. Bedroom four offers great flexibility and could easily serve as a nursery, home gym, or study. Positioned to the rear, bedroom three enjoys lovely elevated views of the garden. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level.
A staircase from the hallway leads to the first-floor bedroom accommodation. The principal and second bedrooms are located at the front of the property, each offering generous proportions. The second bedroom also benefits from built-in storage. Bedroom five is set to the rear and enjoys elevated views towards the Firth of Forth. A modern shower room services all rooms on this floor.

A standout feature of the home is its cleverly designed basement level, accessible through the conservatory. While the ceiling height is limited, the space remains highly practical and versatile. Currently used by our clients as a home office, it could just as easily serve as a playroom, creative studio, or gym. Additionally, it offers excellent storage options along with a dedicated utility area.

Externally, the property sits within a particularly spacious and private plot. The rear garden is a key selling point, with mature trees and hedging providing privacy and shelter. It includes a generous lawn and patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining or family living. The front garden includes a spacious driveway with ample off-street parking and access to the single garage.
