Proposals for part- exchange with a property of lower value will be considered as will those for shared ownership (minimum 50%).

This property provides a rare opportunity to acquire a foothold in one of the City's most deservedly and enduringly attractive and sought after suburbs, to escape to the countryside without leaving the City and to enjoy detached living for the price of a flat.

With conventional layout, the accommodation comprises:-

Ground Floor: Hall to Kitchen, Lounge/Dining

First Floor: Landing to Bathroom with WC, 2 Double + 1 Single Bedrms

Although partially modernised with replacement gas central heating, uPVC double glazing & matching roofline, there remains much to be done to the elements of the fabric, interior and by way of landscaping.

Although somewhat uninspiring, dated and unworthy of its situation at present, the latent potential is obvious and it could be transformed with imagination into a very desirable modern home with the refitted bathroom providing a glimpse of what could be.

The front garden is large enough to accommodate a driveway for four cars and there is an adjoining single car garage linking the otherwise detached structure to a mirror image property.

The woodland beyond the rear garden is owned in common with the other properties in the same development and provides control over the boundaries and outlook.

The property is located within a peaceful cul de sac setting surrounded by attractive woodland with open aspects to the front (Campbell Park & Pentland Hills) and rear (Colinton Dell).

The amenities of Colinton Village are a short but very pleasant walk away and there is a 10/20 min bus service (Lothian 10/N16 Torphin) from stops nearby in Woodhall Road providing access 24/7 to the City Centre/Ocean Terminal via Craiglockhart, Polwarth and Lothian Road by day and Morningside,Fairmilehead & Oxgangs after midnight.

There is a 10 minute rail connection to Haymarket plus access to Glasgow Central via West Lothian from Wester Hailes or Curriehill Stations.

The A702 Edinburgh City Bypass is a short drive away at Dreghorn and provides convenient access to Edinburgh Park and the M8/9.

The management fee for maintaining and insuring the landscaped areas has been about £60 per annum in recent years and the property is in Band E for Council Tax.
