3/2 Ravelston House Road, Edinburgh

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom mid-terraced house, with low-maintenance gardens and garage parking, lies in central Ravelston; an area much sought-after for its greenery, bus links, excellent local shopping, and swift road access out of the city. The property enjoys a peaceful off-street setting, looking out across a manicured private green. Inside, subtle contemporary décor and extensive glazing create a wonderfully light and airy ambience throughout the home. A bright tile-floored vestibule leads into an entrance hall with warm, honey-coloured flooring that extends throughout the ground floor. Leading off the hall is a sitting area illuminated by a large south-facing window and fitted with an attractive display unit. The sitting area flows openly to a seated dining area with built-in storage and glazed double doors to the kitchen.

The kitchen is flooded with natural light from large skylights and sliding patio doors that open to the rear garden. It features a good selection of sleek white cabinets, a marble-inspired countertop with a casual seating peninsula, an integrated eye-level oven, an induction hob with a feature hood, as well as a freestanding tall fridge freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher – all in stylish silver. Additionally, there is a convenient shower room with WC on the ground floor.

The upstairs is reached from the hall via a stylishly carpeted stairway and landing. The landing (with storage) leads to three bedrooms with leafy views and cosy fitted carpeting. Built-in storage features in the principal bedroom. Also on this level is a sky-lit bathroom with a shower-over-bath. Gas central heating and full double glazing create warmth and efficiency in the home.

Outside, located to the rear, is a small garden with a patio and lawn, plus a detached single garage. There is additional on-street parking close by. The front of the property is south-facing, with a private seating terrace giving way to the large private green.
