The entrance hall affords access to each room within the property, and features a secure entry phone handset and superb storage provision with a walk-in box/store room and a further built-in cupboard. Set to the front, with a dual aspect allowing plentiful natural light, the spacious living room offers space for both lounge and dining furniture; whilst to the rear, the kitchen is fitted with traditional units, stone effect worktops, a sink with drainer, a tiled surround, and new wood effect flooring. A spacious bedroom is set to the front, whilst to the rear, completing the accommodation, a newly fitted shower suite includes a large shower cubicle with a mains mixer, modern panel splash walls, wood effect flooring and a ladder-style radiator.
Balerno is a sought-after residential village, some eight miles south-west of the city centre. Located just off the A70, it is ideal for commuting by bus or car, with the nearby city bypass connecting to the main trunk routes and Edinburgh Airport.

There are supermarkets at The Gyle and Hermiston Gait retail parks and at Colinton and Longstone. Balerno lies on the edge of the Pentland Hills Regional Park and is convenient for pleasant woodland pathways along the Water of Leith, around Harlaw and Threipmuir, and in Balerno’s Malleny Gardens, with golf courses at Dalmahoy and Baberton.
