About this property

  • 1 East Fettes Avenue is a stunning opportunity to acquire a four bedroom end of terrace Victorian home with accommodation laid over three storeys. There is off-road parking for two cars and a beautiful landscaped garden to the rear. The property is filled with natural light across all rooms and enjoys excellent views of Edinburgh Castle, Corstorphine Hill, the city skyline and beyond.

    The entrance vestibule opens onto a bright reception hallway. The dining room is located to the front of the home and enjoys a bay window, ornate cornicing and a feature fireplace. The kitchen and family room are located to the rear with a pleasant outlook from all windows, and offers outdoor access opening onto the garden. The kitchen has been modernised and features a combination of wall and floor white units; there is a W/C to the rear of the kitchen. The family room features direct access into the dining room underneath the stairs, via a useful walk-through cupboard and storage area which joins the two.

    The first floor accommodation comprises an impressive and peaceful drawing room, featuring bay window with open views, electric fireplace and ample space for relaxing or entertaining. Also located on this floor is a double bedroom and family bathroom, both to the rear of the home.

    The second floor accommodation enjoys open views from a triple aspect, featuring brilliant views of Edinburgh Castle, Corstorphine Hill and across Edinburgh. The principal bedroom is very well sized and features a south-west facing balcony accessed via a double glazed patio door. Bedrooms three and four are also on this floor, one of which benefits from an en suite shower room.

    The outside space this home has to offer is impressive, notably due to open views and being on an end terraced plot which gives useful side access. The retention of the front lawn gives a great first impression while still allowing off-road parking for two cars. The sunny rear garden is made up of a patio seating area and laid lawn area, alongside a range of mature plantings. This is a garden to be enjoyed all year round and is secluded, yet in such a central location.

To find a home that has been lovingly owned by the same family for over 60 years is just incredible. It is a pleasure to market this home in the search of finding the next generation of owners.
