Hermitage Drive, Morningside, Edinburgh EH10

A delightful main door ground floor villa with charming south facing garden and double garage, positioned on one of Edinburgh most exclusive streets.

Description
4 Hermitage Drive is an elegant and well-positioned apartment occupying the entire ground floor of a substantial stone-built semi-detached house, set on one of Edinburgh’s most desirable addresses. With north, south, and west-facing aspects, the property enjoys natural light throughout the day and offers generously scaled accommodation, ideal for modern family living.

The main entrance opens into a vestibule and welcoming reception hall, providing access to the principal rooms. These include a charming sitting room, two to three sizeable double bedrooms (one currently used as the dining room) and a family bathroom. A dressing room and large secondary bathroom are conveniently located and accessible from both the main and second bedrooms. A stylish shower room/WC is also accessed from the main hall. Ample storage is available throughout the property.

To the west, the breakfast room leads through to a sleek, contemporary kitchen. This area also provides access to the laundry and drying room, sizeable walk-in pantry, and stairs leading to the fourth bedroom, currently being used as a smart home office.

The sitting room features a striking south-facing bay window and a multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining. All bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, with large windows enhancing the natural light.

The breakfast room and kitchen are modern in design, with the kitchen housing a versatile, Everhot cooker and a large walk-in pantry. The current owners previously obtained consent to remove the wall between the two rooms, offering the potential to create an open-plan space with dual-aspect views.

Set back from the road, the home can be accessed via a neat front path or driveway to the side which leads to an excellent double garage, with ample off-street parking in front. The rear of the property boasts an exceptional south-facing garden, beautifully maintained and filled with an impressive variety of mature plants and shrubs. Also at the rear, a freshly decorated patio area is the perfect sun trap with plenty of space for outdoor seating.
