Description

This spacious detached bungalow presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment, set in the desirable Blackhall district of Edinburgh. The property is ideally located near Craigleith Retail Park, providing easy access to various amenities, including a Sainsbury's superstore. In addition, the proximity to Davidson's Mains enhances its appeal, while excellent transport links to Edinburgh International Airport and major roadways further increase convenience for residents. While the bungalow requires comprehensive modernisation, it boasts a solid layout that offers significant potential for enhancement. The entrance vestibule leads into a hallway equipped with storage that connects all living spaces. The generously sized living room at the rear features a gas fire and an Edinburgh press cupboard, creating a cozy atmosphere. Adjacent to this space is a kitchen fitted with base and wall units, two built-in pantry cupboards, as well as essential appliances including a slot-in cooker with gas hob and a washing machine. Direct access to the rear garden from the kitchen facilitates outdoor entertaining. The accommodation includes three bedrooms; the front-facing room could double as an additional reception area thanks to its box window and electric fire. Another front bedroom comes with fitted wardrobes, while the third bedroom is positioned on the side of the property. Completing the interior is a wet room outfitted with essential amenities including a WC, wash hand basin, and an electric shower. Outside, the front garden is bordered by hedges for privacy and features a pathway leading up to the entrance. A private gravel driveway provides off-street parking while granting access to both side and rear gardens. The expansive rear garden is landscaped with lawns and shrub borders, accompanied by a patio area ideal for outdoor dining—a blank canvas awaiting your vision for transformation. With its location in one of Edinburgh's sought-after areas and ample scope for development or refurbishment, this property represents an exciting prospect for those looking to create their ideal home or invest in a property with considerable potential for value appreciation.
