2 bed villa to rent

Kirkhill Road, Prestonfield, Edinburgh EH16

A bright and spacious two-bedroom, main door lower villa on a quiet street. Fully redecorated for a new tenancy, the property includes a large private rear garden and ample storage. Unfurnished for maximum tenant flexibility. Available 30th June!

A key highlight of this property is its grand living room. The elegant fireplace and large bay window make brilliant focal points for this impressive room, which is bursting with period features such as its tall ceilings, ornate cornicing and unique ceiling patterns. This room has been fitted with a brand-new carpet and, like the rest of the property, has been repainted.

The kitchen-diner is a brilliant hub for the property. The cherry red unit facings of the kitchen contrast with the more subtle wall colour and sanded wooden flooring to give this property a real feeling of old meets new. There is substance as well as style, however. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances you would expect (including the likes of a dishwasher, gas hob and fridge freezer. It also has ample worktop and cupboard space. The storage space includes a large pantry and a smaller store.

The back garden can be reached from the kitchen diner via a separate utility. This keeps the noise of the washing machine away from the kitchen and dining area. It also provides an ideal place to wash hands and take off muddy shoes when coming in from the back garden.

The enclosed back garden itself is long and is split into distinct sections. There is a patio area near the house with outdoor storage for gardening equipment. There are two lawned areas for recreation and a large planting bed and shrubbery. The open feel of the garden and limited buildings around it, means that is likely to get the best of the sun on a nice summer’s day. Edinburgh's famous rocky hilltop, Arthur's Seat, can be viewed to the North.

Both bedrooms are spacious and bright. They could fit all manner of bedroom furniture with ease. The rear bedroom is the larger of the two and looks out towards the gardens, while the other overlooks the small front garden area onto the road.
The bathroom makes the most of the space available with a shower over bath.

Turning to the more practical aspects of the property, the amount of storage available is very impressive. As well as the kitchen pantry, there are also two huge storage cupboards off the hallway – each with built in shelving and hooks.

The property benefits from double glazing throughout and has a gas-fired combi boiler powering the heating and hot water systems.

Nestled beneath the iconic Arthur’s Seat, Prestonfield is a very well-regarded area of the city. With the property being located on a quiet side street, it is easy to forget that you so brilliantly positioned for amenities. Newington Road (with its cosy cafes, traditional pubs and independent restaurants) is less than a 15 minute-walk away, while Cameron Toll Shopping Centre (with its aldi and Sainsbury’s supermarkets, high street shops and chain eateries) is only 20 minutes away on foot and less than 5 minutes by car. The property is also excellently positioned for access to leisure hubs and green spaces. There are tennis courts across the road and The Royal Commonwealth Pool, Prestonfield Golf Club and Peffermill Playing Fields are all within a short walk of the front door. Holyrood Park (with its stunning city vistas), The Meadows (with its sunny open spaces) and Duddingston Loch (with its waterside walks) are also in easy walking distance.

The free on street parking on Kirkhill Road (and availability for permits too) makes the property ideal for motorists.
