Elegant Double Upper Villa | 4 Bedrooms | Southwest-Facing Garden
Colinton Road presents a beautifully modernised traditional double upper villa that perfectly blends classic period charm with contemporary style. Fully refurbished by the current owners, this exceptionally bright and stylish home offers lovely views to the Pentland Hills and generous, flexible accommodation ideal for modern family living.
Entered via a shared vestibule, the welcoming hallway and landing are flooded with natural light from an impressive cupola above. The elegant double-aspect sitting room is a wonderful space for relaxation, featuring a large bay window, an additional window for maximum light, an original fireplace, and ornate cornice detailing.
The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The bespoke kitchen features a large central island and an excellent range of integrated appliances, including a full-height fridge and freezer, oven, microwave, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher, and wine fridge. The adjoining dining and family area enjoys a cosy wood-burning stove and ample space for both dining and seating areas. A versatile fourth bedroom or study and a sleek shower room with a utility cupboard (plumbed for a washer-dryer) complete this level.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a study area and a stylish en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two also benefits from its own study area, alongside a third bedroom and a large, flexible storeroom offering excellent potential.
There is gas central heating throughout and both bathrooms have under floor heating.
Outside, the charming southwest-facing garden provides a private sun trap with space for outdoor dining and a useful garden shed. On-street parking is readily available, and there may be an opportunity to purchase a single lock-up garage nearby by separate negotiation
