Essex Road, Cramond, Edinburgh EH4

A spacious four-bedroom detached house set on a generous plot with open front aspects, a large private rear garden, and excellent potential for modernisation in the heart of Barnton

Description
20 Essex Road is a deceptively spacious detached house occupying a generous plot within a quiet and highly regarded residential area. Enjoying open views to the front and a large, private rear garden, the property offers flexible accommodation extending to over 2,000 sq ft, together with a substantial garage.

Having been a much-loved home for many years, the property would now benefit from a degree of refurbishment and modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to create a wonderful family home.

The property is approached via a vestibule which opens into a welcoming central hallway from which the accommodation flows.

The impressive living and dining room is situated to the rear of the property and forms the heart of the home. Generous in size, the room provides ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, whilst large windows and direct access to the conservatory ensure excellent levels of natural light throughout the day.

Positioned beyond the living room, the conservatory enjoys pleasant views over the rear garden and offers an excellent additional reception space, ideal for informal dining, reading or simply taking full advantage of the garden setting.

The kitchen lies adjacent to the living accommodation and is fitted with a range of wall and base units. While now requiring upgrading, it offers excellent potential for redesign and reconfiguration to suit modern living requirements.

There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms located on the ground floor, both enjoying pleasant outlooks and offering comfortable accommodation. These rooms are served by a family bathroom situated off the hallway.

Stairs rise from the hall to the first-floor accommodation where two further substantial double bedrooms can be found. The principal bedroom is exceptionally spacious and benefits from useful eaves storage. Bedroom two is also generously proportioned and enjoys a bright open aspect. A shower room completes the upper floor accommodation.

Externally, the property is surrounded by well-established garden grounds. The rear garden is a particular feature, being fully enclosed, private and generous in size, providing an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining, gardening and family enjoyment. To the front, the property benefits from open views and a sizeable garden area which further enhances the feeling of space and privacy.

Further benefits include a garage offering excellent storage, workshop space or secure parking, together with driveway parking.
