This extended detached villa (112 sqm) is an ideal family home in a much admired village location with excellent schools. Originally built by Cala in the late 1960’s, the property has benefitted by the addition of a substantial conservatory which offers additional everyday living space. There is a beautifully presented 8 metre-long sitting room/dining room which benefits from recently sanded wooden flooring. There is a fully fitted kitchen with an extra-large office/study area off with further access to the garage.  Also on the ground floor level is a handy store cupboard and useful toilet with wash hand basin. Upstairs are three good double bedrooms plus the family bathroom. There is also an attic for additional storage.

The property benefits from gas central heating and pvc replacement double glazing throughout.

There is a front garden with monoblock driveway leading to the single integral garage and a substantial, fully fenced rear garden.

Balerno is a much admired village which has an historic central conservation ‘heart’ and a surprisingly rural feel being attractively located amidst truly unspoiled countryside which forms a gateway to the Pentland Hills.  It has some local shops, highly regarded senior high school, primary school, library and a farmers’ market offering local produce. A wealth of countryside pursuits abound including horse riding, walking, golf, riding and fishing whilst nearby is The Oriam (National Performance Centre for Sport). This popular residential location straddles the A70 and has evolved into a popular commuter base being only 8 miles from the centre of Edinburgh and a short drive away from motorway networks and the City By-pass (3 miles).  Excellent bus services operate and the delightful ‘Water of Leith Walkway’ provides a tranquil route into the City Centre and even down to the Waterfront of Leith.

The property has been valued by surveyors at £400,000 and the Home Report is also available from the ESPC web site.

The property lies in Council Tax band F and has a C rated Energy Performance certificate.

The sale price includes all fitted carpets and integrated kitchen appliances.
