A charming upper flat within a substantial detached Victorian villa in the
heart of one of Edinburgh's most sought after residential areas.
Description
8 Corrennie Gardens is a stunning upper flat occupying the first floor of an
impressive detached Victorian villa offering generous room sizes, extensive
storage and natural light throughout. Located in Morningside, one of the most
desirable parts of Edinburgh, it boasts a glorious south and west facing
garden, a tandem garage and driveway. There is a large, full - height loft above
that could be converted to provide additional accommodation, subject to the
necessary consents.
The property has the rare benefit of a ground floor, main door entrance with
an internal staircase leading from a welcoming vestibule.
Ascending to the first floor, the accommodation radiates from a central hall
and offers flexible living throughout. To the front is the exquisite drawing
room with stunning cornice and a bay window overlooking the street below and
with panoramic view over the city to Edinburgh Castle.
To the rear, with an equally pleasant outlook, the elegant dining room leads
to a well appointed kitchen with views to the south and the Pentland Hills.
There are three double bedrooms one of which currently serves as a study.
In addition there is a family bathroom. The property further benefits from a
utility space and separate W. C adjacent to the kitchen.
The property would benefit from modernisation, offering the opportunity to
create your own home. There is also scope to extend the property into the
existing loft space which is generously sized, subject to obtaining the
required consents.
Externally, the glorious rear garden is private and secure with substantial
lawn and patio areas, and a variety of colourful shrubs within the flowerbeds.
The property further benefits from a tandem garage and off - street parking on
the shared driveway.
