Not currently mortgageable until wall ties fitted (estimated at £10, 000). This
deceptively spacious 7 - bedroomed/5 bath/shower rooms Victorian house is
located just a few minutes’ walk away from the 2 - mile beach and affords
unobstructed far - reaching views of the Firth of Forth from its top floor. The
property is sure to appeal to purchasers of all age groups seeking a character
home and who are prepared to carry out extensive modernisation and repairs
(which have already been factored into the valuation figure). There is
potential for sub division (subject to necessary consents) as others similar
within the same terrace have done. The property has a good ceiling height and
retains some traditional features including cornicing and a spindled
staircase. Extremely flexible accommodation (207 sqm) is arranged over three
floors and it was once even used as a guest house. The classic entrance
vestibule opens into a hallway which has staircases connecting to both the
lower and upper floors. A classic and elegant public room is positioned to the
front of the building with a typical bay window formation. Also on the ground
floor are 2 bedrooms (one en - suite) plus a shower room featuring a disability
shower, wash basin and W. C. Upstairs are four further bedrooms (three en suite
and two with sea views) and the bathroom with a skylight. The full - height
lower level offers a further bedroom along with an open - plan fitted
kitchen/dining room from which modern full - with patio doors open out to the
enclosed rear garden.
It has gas central heating operated by a modern boiler and a mixture of double
glazing.
There is a small front garden and walled rear garden which has access to a
shared lane.
Number 48a is quite literally just a few yards away from the end of the
promenade and beach. Joppa Road forms part of the coastal route from
Portobello to Musselburgh along which frequent bus services operate (numbers
26 and 41). Edinburgh’s ‘seaside’ is a very popular location being close to
attractive open countryside, coastal walk ways and golf courses. The extensive
shopping park at Fort Kinnaird, health services, golf courses and modern swim
centre are all within very easy reach. The A1 and other major road networks
are readily accessible whilst neighbouring Brunstane has a rail station with
services into the City Centre (6 miles). There are local schools including
Portobello High School.
The kitchen appliances are included in the sale price.
