Description

A well‐proportioned, three‐bedroom semi‐detached bungalow set on a quiet residential street in Drum Brae, approximately five miles west of Edinburgh's city centre.

The living room overlooks the back garden and adjoins both the conservatory and kitchen that has a door into the back garden. There are two bedrooms, the smaller of which is used currently as a dining room. The bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

The stair is naturally lit and there is a built-in cupboard as well as eaves storage accessible from the landing. The remaining bedroom that is the largest has a built-in wardrobe and access to further eaves storage. The roof void is entered through a ceiling hatch and is suitable for storage use.

The bungalow is double glazed and has gas central heating.
