Charming detached family home set in mature grounds and located within one of Edinburgh's most sought after areas
Gowrie, 8 Succoth Avenue is a charming detached family home offering bright, spacious and comfortable accommodation over ground, first and attic floors. The property is well-presented throughout and with aspects principally to the east, south and west there is an abundance of natural light throughout the day.
The front door opens to a vestibule and on to a welcoming reception hallway from where the stair rises to the upper floor and the principal reception and family living rooms radiate. To the front of the property lie the elegant bay windowed sitting room with conservatory off, while the dining room is set to the other side of the hall, and has been used as a fourth bedroom previously. The kitchen is set to the rear of the property and there is ample space for a dining table. Double doors open from here to the delightful sitting room at the back of the house, with doors opening to the garden. Facing south, it is a particularly bright room. There is also a cloakroom with WC and storage cupboards on this floor.
At first floor level there are three comfortable bedrooms. The principal bedroom is accessed through a study (which has also been used as a bedroom previously) and has its own large shower room. The second bedroom has a dressing area and an en suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom which serves the third double bedroom, while there are useful storage cupboards in addition. A further set of steps leads up to the attic which provides excellent storage space, but has great potential for further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
The property sits well back from the quiet road and is particularly well screened by a mature hedge. To the north side of the grounds there is a gated driveway with off-street parking for a number of cars and leading to the garage. A path leads from the driveway to the front door. The garden is spectacular with well-stocked, colourful and mature herbaceous borders surrounding the lawn which sweeps from the rear to the south and west of the house. There is a wide variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees providing colour and privacy for much of the year.

This house is incredibly charming, and offers great potential to create a wonderful home. I love the garden grounds, which are incredibly private, colourful and well-established.
