Read the full agent description

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached bungalow occupying a generous corner plot of approximately 0.25 acres in the popular residential area of Liberton, on the Braid Hills.

Offering highly flexible accommodation, the property can be arranged as either a three or four-bedroom home, with one or two public rooms depending on the needs of the buyer. This versatility makes it ideally suited to a wide range of purchasers, including families, downsizers, multi-generational households, or those seeking spacious single-level living with excellent outdoor space.

The accommodation is entered via a welcoming entrance vestibule, leading into a central hallway with a cloak cupboard and utility cupboard. Further generous storage is provided by two large cupboards positioned beside the main family bathroom, making the home both practical and well suited to everyday family life.

The fully fitted kitchen includes a range of integrated appliances, including a gas hob and oven, extractor hood, washing machine and dishwasher, and provides direct access to the garden. The impressive dual-aspect lounge is bright and well-proportioned, with sliding patio doors opening onto the rear garden and raised patio area. A separate dining room, complete with a double storage cupboard, provides further flexibility.

All bedrooms are generous doubles, with two benefiting from built-in wardrobes. The main living room also features an electric fireplace, adding character and warmth to the space. The property is served by a three-piece family bathroom with chrome heated towel rail and over-bath shower, together with a separate three-piece shower room and WC.

Externally, the property is a real standout. The substantial corner plot provides private garden grounds surrounding the home, with gated entry to the front, excellent access around the entire property, a raised rear patio, extensive lawn space and a greenhouse. The garden is well kept and offers superb potential for outdoor entertaining, family use, further landscaping or future development, subject to any necessary consents. New fencing was erected around the property in 2020 and 2025.

Parking is another major advantage, with a large double driveway providing off-street parking for up to three vehicles, with a large detached single garage. There is also ample unrestricted on-street parking available for visitors.

The home further benefits from gas central heating, replaced in 2020, double glazing throughout, and a partially floored attic providing excellent additional storage.

With its generous plot, flexible layout, detached setting, excellent storage, private gardens and sought-after single-level accommodation, this is a highly appealing home offering space, privacy and long-term versatility in a well-established Edinburgh location.
