2 Pentland Road is a wonderful, detached house situated within extensive and attractive grounds and gardens in sought-after Colinton. With five bedrooms and extensive living spaces, this family home offers bright and spacious accommodation set over two floors. The far reaching views to the Pentland Hills provide a wonderful tranquillity, yet the property's location remains in superb proximity to all of the city's amenities.
Entering through a welcoming vestibule, the home features a generously sized reception hall, leading to the sitting, dining, and garden rooms on the west side. The spacious sitting room has a wide south-facing aspect and a large coal effect gas fireplace. The adjacent dining room seamlessly connects to the sitting room with bifold doors, well positioned for entertaining. The garden room features expansive windows that stretch across the entire southern and western sides, offering panoramic views of the beautiful gardens, to which double doors open out. Additionally, two utility rooms and a well appointed shower room complete with sauna are also situated here.
On the east side, are bedrooms one and two, which enjoy south facing aspects. Also situated here is an office, two bathrooms, a spacious family room, and a kitchen with garden access via a porch. The kitchen is characterful and well-equipped with numerous wall and floor based units. The expansive family room was originally an art studio and has double-height ceilings and a mezzanine providing an additional living space that would function well as a playroom. Plentiful storage is situated here in the form of a large store.
Stairs from the hall rise to the first floor where bedrooms three, four and five are situated, all of which enjoy southerly aspects and are serviced by a WC. Bedroom five has ample built-in storage and is also accessible via the staircase leading up from the mezzanine.
The house is set back from the street in a private position with a gravel drive to the rear. The main formal garden is a spectacular feature of the property and is located to the front of the house, boasting beautifully tended grounds of approximately 0.49 acres. Mature trees and a variety of plants and shrubs give plenty of colour in the borders that surround the manicured lawn and can be enjoyed from the quaint summer house. The lawn winds its way through the colourful flowerbeds and a tall beech hedge borders two sides of the land. A well-constructed fence connects the remaining perimeter, providing excellent screening and privacy.
There is an attached garage and generous space for private parking.
