Property description
We are delighted to bring to market a stunning and rarely available B listed stone built detached thatched cottage situated in the historic Swanston Village, an idyllic and picturesque location to the south of Edinburgh City Centre which is only a short journey away.
The picturesque group of cottages are in an idyllic setting and were restored by the city council in 1964.
This property is set in a fabulous location of similar homes and is full of character and steeped in history. The property is set back from a private road, by a stream at the heart of the village and a path leads up to the property which occupies the premier site in the village.
There is a garage which is set in a block of six at the edge of the village, a short walk from the house. This property would suit a range of buyers including possibly a professional couple, older buyer or a buy to let investor and viewing is recommended to appreciate the quality of accommodation on offer.
Internally there is single glazing throughout, gas central heating and a glorious thatched roof which was renewed 10 years ago and has a life expectancy of 40 years.
The property has been renovated by the current owners, is in pristine condition and briefly comprises: an entrance hall with tiled floor which on the left leads to the living room with fitted carpet, windows to the front and back and a gas burning stove, fully fitted kitchen off the living room with four ring gas hob, integrated appliances and a door that leads to the secluded back garden. Back to the entrance hall there are two storage cupboards, bathroom with tiled floor and three piece suite and master bedroom which is currently being used as a second lounge with fitted carpet, windows to the front and back, wooden door to the front, electric burner within a wooden surround fireplace and wooden effect beams on the ceiling.
A wooden staircase leads from the hall to the lovely second bedroom with small window to the side of the property, fitted carpet and steps leading down to a dressing room with fitted carpet walk in wardrobe and window overlooking the stairs.
Externally, there is a fabulous garden to the back and side of the property with patio and steps that lead to a fabulous grassed area to the side and back with a gate leading to the golf course. All the gardens to the immediate front of the property are technically communal but are maintained by the current owners and used privately
