Description

This exceptional and spacious detached family home is set within a generous and well-maintained plot in one of Barnton's most prestigious residential addresses.

From the moment you enter, the home impresses with its bright and airy feel, thanks to extensive glazing and a south-westerly orientation.

A large kitchen/dining area, separate study, bathroom, WC, and ancillary storage rooms complete the ground level.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a bright and spacious lounge - currently used as a snooker room - with access to a full-width balcony overlooking the garden. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite and also opens onto the balcony, as does one of the additional bedrooms.

The top floor provides two further double bedrooms and a shower room - perfect for guests, teenagers, or as additional home office space.
