Description

Lismore Cottage, presents a once in a generation opportunity to acquire a charming Edwardian detached house with its own driveway and off street parking. The property sits in substantial garden grounds, enjoying a peaceful position, quietly tucked away in the popular Willowbrae district on the lower slopes of Arthur's Seat.

The property dates from the early 20th Century with many attractive arts and crafts features. The front door opens to a vestibule, featuring Edwardian tiles, and into a welcoming reception hall from which the accommodation flows. The impressive bay windowed sitting room sits to the front of the property, enjoying an open outlook down the driveway. The room is generous in size with the feature fireplace making for a cosy feel. Adjacent to this is a shelved library which could be used as a guest bedroom on the ground floor.

To the rear of the property is the impressive kitchen which is a fine example of contemporary living. The kitchen itself is modern, and is fully fitted with integrated appliances, breakfast bar, and numerous wall and base units. Of particular note is the South facing garden room with French doors which open straight out on the garden. This space is ideal for more formal dining and entertaining. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a sizeable utility room which sits off the kitchen and also leads to the WC for this level.

Stairs from the hallway rise to the First Floor leading to the principal bedrooms. Each room is comfortable in size with generous built in storage. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property, with access to its own recently refurbished en suite shower room. The second and third bedroom are comfortable in size and easily fit a double bed, whilst the current office space could act as an additional bedroom with single bed. There is a refurbished family bathroom suite, including under floor heating, heated mirrors, a bath with shower overhead, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally the property sits in private and secure grounds with fully enclosed front, side and rear gardens, wrapping around the house. These enjoy the sun throughout the most of the day.
