At garden level is the wonderfully light and spacious, double height open plan kitchen, dining and living room, ideal for modern family living. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with sleek units along the back wall and a superb island with breakfast bar adjoining the living space. To the rear of the kitchen there is additional storage, as well as a useful utility room with WC off.

At first floor level, there is the elegant south facing drawing room. It is a particularly spacious room with built in shelving at one end, and charming views over the rear garden and beyond to the shared communal gardens. There are two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom also on this floor. The stair continues to rise to the second floor where the principal bedroom suite is situated, along with two further double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room. The principal suite is a particularly impressive room with delightful southerly views, floor to ceiling windows with a door opening to the south facing terrace with stunning views to the Pentland Hills, a fully fitted dressing room and a luxurious bath and shower room.

The house is approached by a driveway with off-street parking for one car in front of the integrated garage, as well as a footpath leading to the front door. There is an Andersen EV charger here also. To the rear of the house, there is a large tiled terraced immediately bordering the back of the house, with plenty of space for a BBQ and dining table. Three steps lead up to the garden which has been laid with astroturf for ease of maintenance. Facing south, the garden benefits from an abundance of natural daylight throughout the day. To the rear of the garden is the office, which is nicely independent but equally convenient in its proximity to the house. It could be for a variety of different uses such as a studio or gym. A further door opens from here to the wonderful shared communal gardens where there are glorious open green spaces, a wide variety of mature trees, a fantastic children’s play area. These gardens are exclusively for the use of residents of Wallace Gardens and are safe and secure with a large wall around the boundary.
