Description
Riverside Cottage offers a unique opportunity to acquire a detached property of two large double bedrooms and a third smaller room suitable as an office or occasional single bedroom. This delightful property is set peacefully and hidden in very private grounds of approx. 0.45 acres, in a garden full of trees running down to the Water of Leith where can be found deer, badgers and foxes. The property sits at the end of a private driveway, with extensive parking, part of the former grounds of the original neighbouring Windmill House and offers spacious accommodation over two floors.
The property has large living/dining room with sliding patio door. The adjacent kitchen has a door to the south-facing, sunny terrace. There is also a separate WC with wash basin on this floor. The first floor has two double bedrooms and a third smaller room which could be used as a comfortable home office/guest room. There is a well-equipped modern bathroom with shower and separate bath tub. Full gas central heating and double glazing are installed. Externally the property benefits from a large detached double garage and paved garden with a covered store.
The property offers buyers an excellent opportunity to create a fantastic home in a peaceful and unique setting. Murrayfield is one of Edinburghs most desirable locations due to its proximity to the city centre, access to fabulous semi-rural walks and easy links to Edinburgh International Airport. Coltbridge Gardens is situated near to the Water of Leith walkway, which contains a wide variety of wildlife with beautiful walks and access to Edinburghs cycle path network.
The area is very popular with families owing to its selection of highly regarded nursery, primary and secondary schools, including Roseburn Primary School and Craigmount High School in the state sector and The Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewarts Melville Schools, Fettes College and St Georges School for Girls in the private sector. Murrayfield itself is home to St Georges School for Girls and Mary Erskine and Stewarts Melville are a short walk from the house.
