Regular bus services on Clermiston Road run to and from the city centre, while the Barnton Junction provides a fast link to the Forth Road Bridge, the M90 motorway, Fife and the north.

Several well known schools are within the vicinity and Corstorphine Hill with its many attractive walks is only moments away. The keep fit enthusiast is well catered for with a range of facilities at the Capital Hotel and Drumbrae Leisure Centre.

DESCRIPTION
This modern mid terraced villa was constructed to a traditional specification by Miller Homes in 1966 with rendered external elevations and facing brick features, all beneath a pitched tiled roof. The well proportioned interior is arranged over two floors and offers a comfortable easily managed family home which benefits from double glazing, cavity wall insulation, and gas fired central heating. This includes a generously proportioned dual aspect sitting room/dining room with a ‘hole in the wall’ coal effect gas fire, three bedrooms, a fitted galley style kitchen, and bathroom. The rear facing window in Bedroom Two provides a stunning westerly panoramic outlook, which is understood to include Ben Lomond on a clear day. It is anticipated some buyers may wish to upgrade some of the fixtures and fittings.

A hatch and sliding aluminium Ramsay ladder in the first floor landing give access to a large extensively floored and generally well insulated attic area with Velux window, which may offer potential for conversion to further living space – subject to planning permission, building warrant etc.

The small front garden is screened by a beech hedge and offers a shaped lawn, surrounded by well stocked borders. The rear garden has been paved for low maintenance and also includes colourful borders. This area is very secluded and can enjoy long hours of sunshine in the spring and summer months. The sale includes a single lock up garage, forming part of a terrace of seven, located to the north of the property.
