**Description**
Forming part of the well - established and popular residential Buckstone area of
south Edinburgh, 6 Buckstone Close is a two - bedroom mid - terrace house with its
own front and back gardens and off - street parking to the rear of the property.
It now requires updating and, therefore, offers an opportunity to the
purchaser to interpret the house in the way they would choose, thus making it
an ideal home.
The front door opens onto a small hall that offers access to both the living
room and the stair leading to the first floor. The bright, east facing, living
room has a large under the stair cupboard and a feature fire place. The
kitchen adjoins the living room and benefits from a door leading out to the
back garden. It is fitted with both floor and wall mounted storage units, work
surfaces with tiled splashbacks and also houses the gas fired boiler.
There are two comfortable bedrooms, the larger having a built - in wardrobe. The
naturally lit bathroom has a three - piece suite. There is a ceiling hatch that
gives access to the attic space. The house has gas fired central heating and a
combination of single and double glazing.
The front garden is primarily grassed, with a path leading to the front door.
The back garden, with views to The Pentlands, is enclosed by a wooden panelled
fence each side and a wrought iron fence and gate at the foot that leads to
the off - road parking. Again, for the most part, it is grassed with the
addition of various plants, shrubs, a Cordyline australis Palm, other small
trees and useful garden shed. There is a metalled road at the southern end of
the terrace that leads round to the off - street parking behind the terrace.
