Property description

Unique, beautifully-presented and charming, two-bedroom, stone-built cottage set to the rear of Liberton's former Southfield mansion house, which dates from 1875. Originally the laundry, the cottage is set in extensive and beautifully-landscaped garden grounds which represent the remains of the once much larger estate. Accessed via a secure, gated, communal courtyard, the accommodation comprises; hall, living/dining room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, bathroom and utility room. Tastefully appointed throughout and blending its traditional setting with a contemporary interior, the property has sash and casement windows, gas central heating, cable TV and telephone points, along with excellent storage space, including a fully-floored loft. External features include unrestricted on-site residents' parking, including an allocated space. Liberton offers a broad range of everyday amenities and local shopping, with a large Morrisons supermarket nearby. Well-regarded schooling at all levels is available locally, and a library and leisure centre are both within a short distance. Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and Straiton Retail Park are both a short drive away, a regular bus service connects with the city centre, and there is easy road access to the City Bypass and main road networks.
