171 Colinton Road is an attractive, detached, late Victorian family home positioned at the corner of Colinton Road and Lockharton Avenue in one Edinburgh's most sought after residential addresses.
Internally, the property retains a wealth of period features including ornate cornice work throughout, a beautiful cupola and working wooden shutters.
The drawing room benefits from dual aspect windows and boasts an open fire place with a Victorian cast iron mantelpiece. The dining room has a bay window, parquet flooring and a coal effect gas fire. Adjacent to the dining room, the large breakfasting kitchen has been recently upgraded to a high standard and benefits from direct access through French doors to the secluded South East facing garden. The kitchen also has a doorway through to the dining room on one side and leads through to a larder / wine room on the other. Stairs lead up from here to a useful space currently used as a workshop but which could fit a number of needs. Finally on the ground floor is a study, a W.C and a utility room.
The bedrooms are accessed via an original timber staircase and open off a central landing which is well lit by the large cupola overhead. The principal bedroom benefits from a well appointed en suite shower room. There are a further five bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Externally the gardens and grounds are superb and are easily accessed from various parts of the house. The space is wonderfully private and with different sections it benefits from sunlight throughout the day.
There are two lock-up garages located directly opposite the house on Lockharton Avenue which are available separately.
