Description
Colinton Road is a delightful family home, set within the ever-popular and highly desirable Merchiston area in the south of Edinburgh. Spanning three floors and extending to over 3,100 sq ft, this impressive property offers generously proportioned rooms and highly flexible accommodation.

Complemented by beautifully maintained front and rear gardens, it also benefits from a secure garage with direct access from the rear garden.

Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully renovated, the home retains its grand proportions and exquisite original features while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts.

The property is approached via a charming stone pathway leading to the front door, which opens into a welcoming reception hall, setting the tone for the accommodation that unfolds within.

To the front of the house, the elegant bay-windowed sitting room offers a fantastic space for both relaxation and entertaining. This beautiful room is enriched by triple sash and case windows, ornate cornicing, and a striking central fireplace, all contributing to its timeless character.
To the rear, the impressive dining room is wonderfully generous in size, providing ample space for a large dining table and chairs — an ideal setting for more formal occasions or family gatherings. The room enjoys open southerly views across the rear garden, with an abundance of natural light streaming in throughout the day.
The contemporary kitchen, accessed from the dining room, is both stylish and practical, featuring spacious worktops, a range of integrated appliances, and an extensive selection of wall and base units — offering excellent storage and functionality.

A staircase rises to the first floor, and leads directly to the drawing room. This flexible space provides a further room for entertaining or could easily serve as an additional bedroom if required. Also on this level is a well-proportioned double bedroom, offering ample space for both a bed and additional storage. Completing this floor is a well-appointed family bathroom located off the hallway.

The second floor hosts a further three double bedrooms — two positioned to the rear of the house, with the largest of the three located to the front. A stylish and well-appointed bathroom with a separate shower room completes this level.

Externally, the private and secure rear garden is a standout feature of the property. It boasts a substantial lawn and patio area, enclosed by a high stone wall and mature hedging, with delightful planting throughout the flowerbeds, offering a tranquil outdoor space.
