2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Dreghorn Park, Edinburgh EH13

Occupying a prominent position overlooking the communal grass recreational area, this substantial two-bedroom semi-detached house forms part of an attractive small development of former Ministry of Defence properties. No. 2 was originally part of a substantial detached Officers’ House, which was divided into two homes when the mod properties were sold. The property retains a distinctive sense of character and proportion, while enjoying an open and peaceful cul-de-sac setting. The accommodation extends to a welcoming porch, living room, kitchen/dining room, gardeners' WC and rear conservatory. The conservatory was previously used as a greenhouse, reflecting the former owner's enthusiasm for gardening and love of plants. A mezzanine level landing leads to the shower room, with two bedrooms arranged over the upper levels. The property further benefits from double glazing and gas central heating. With its unusual history, generous setting and peaceful position overlooking the open green, this is a particularly appealing home offering scope to create a stylish and individual residence in a sought-after south-west Edinburgh location.
Location

Dreghorn Park enjoys a peaceful setting within one of Edinburgh's most sought-after south-western suburbs, surrounded by mature woodland and open countryside yet within easy reach of the city centre.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the location is particularly appealing, with Dreghorn Woods, Colinton Dell and the Pentland Hills all close by, providing an abundance of scenic walking and cycling routes. There is a wide choice of highly regarded schools in the surrounding area, together with excellent road and public transport links. The City Bypass is readily accessible, providing convenient connections to Edinburgh Airport and the national motorway network.

Externally

A particular highlight of the property is the exceptional rear garden, which enjoys a wonderful degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully cultivated as a well-established polyculture garden. Designed to combine beauty, biodiversity and productivity, it offers an ever-changing landscape throughout the seasons and provides a haven for wildlife, as well as an exceptionally rewarding space for keen gardeners. The garden is particularly productive, with a selection of established fruit trees including eating and cooking apples, pear and plum, alongside a variety of mature planting which creates an attractive and naturalistic setting. The front garden is equally distinctive, featuring a well-established medlar tree which provides character, seasonal interest and a good degree of privacy. A private driveway provides off-street parking and leads directly to the attached single garage. Together, the established gardens provide a rare combination of privacy, character and productivity, creating a wonderfully individual outdoor environment that complements the property and its peaceful setting.
