From Union Street, proceed along Albyn Place, taking the third exit at the roundabout onto Fountainhall Road. Follow this road along for some distance and Number 99 is located on the left hand side, as is clearly indicated by our Mackinnons For Sale sign.
Well positioned for proximity to a wide range of amenities, schooling and transport links, this grand residence provides spacious and versatile living accommodation. Requiring a degree of modernisation, the property has preserved many traditional features including sash and case windows, deep skirtings, picture rails and decorative plasterwork. An exciting opportunity for a family looking for their forever home, early viewing is highly recommended.
Ground Floor
A wide panelled entrance door with etched glass to either side opens into the impressive entrance vestibule. Featuring the original tiled flooring, a partially glazed door with adjacent glazed panel opens into the imposing reception hall. Showcasing a high ceiling typical of properties of this style, a sweeping white painted staircase with central carpet runner leads to the living accommodation on the upper floors.
Overlooking the property frontage via a large bay window with painted panelled surround, the lounge is a generously proportioned and bright living space. Featuring decorative plasterwork and a central light fitment, central to the room is the tiled fireplace with electric fire.
The sitting room is a further well proportioned room benefitting from a large bay window providing pleasing views across the rear garden. A versatile living space that would be equally suitable as a play room or spacious home office, the central focal point within the room is the coal effect gas fire with alcoves to either side.
A panelled door from the reception hall leads into the dining room, which is ideal for formal dining and entertainment given the proximity to the kitchen. A sash and case window provides views of the rear garden. A door from the dining room leads into the inner hall where a secondary staircase with understair cupboard allows for access to the first floor accommodation.
Within the inner hall a door leads into the charming dining kitchen which enjoys views over the garden. Fitted with a good range of wood fronted base, wall and display cabinetry, laminate roll top work surfaces incorporate a four ring electric hob and a stainless steel sink with drainer. A walk in pantry style cupboard is fitted with shelving, while the kitchen includes a range of integrated appliances, including an oven, grill and dishwasher.
The well proportioned utility room is accessible from the dining kitchen. Enjoying dual aspect views over the rear garden, there is a wealth of fitted storage space available, while a laminate roll top work surface incorporates a stainless steel sink. The washing machine is to remain. The utility room also provides access to the central heating boiler and includes a ceiling mounted clothes drying pulley.
Returning to the inner hall, this leads to an L-shaped hallway where the secondary entrance door is located, along with a fitted cupboard housing the electricity circuit breaker and meters. A further door within this hallway loops back to the reception hall.
Mezzanine
Ascending the staircase there is the mezzanine landing, where a partially glazed door opens into the shower room. Tiled around the suite, a raised shower enclosure houses an electric shower appliance. The wash hand basin is integral to a large vanity unit with panel mirror above, while the WC is located beneath a frosted window.
First Floor
The spacious landing allows access to the principal bedroom which overlooks Fountainhall Road from a large bay window, allowing for lots of natural light. With ample space available for a range of furniture, the bedroom features decorative plasterwork and picture railings.
Bright and spacious, double bedroom two enjoys elevated views across the rear garden while including a fitted storage cupboard. Double bedroom three is of good proportions and overlooks the property frontage.
The large family bathroom overlooks the rear of the property via an opaque sash and case window. Inclusive of a traditional style white three piece suite, there is a shower attachment for the bath. Further features include a mirrored cabinet, in addition to a panel mirror and glass display shelf above the wash hand basin.
A panelled door from the family bathroom leads to a secondary landing which is accessible from the inner hall below. Within the landing there is a walk-in linen cupboard which houses the hot water cylinder and wooden shelving. From this landing there is also access to double bedroom four. Currently utilised as a study and fitted with a range of home office furniture, central to bedroom four is an ornamental fireplace, flanked on either side by two fitted cupboards.
Second Floor
Returning to the first floor landing, a staircase with deep silled arched window to the side leads to the second floor accommodation. Along this floor there are two single bedrooms which both overlook the rear garden and include a range of fitted storage facilities. The impressively proportioned and versatile attic room benefits from natural light from an arched window, while being fitted with vinyl flooring, coat hooks and shelving.
Outside
To the front of the property there is a low granite retaining wall with wrought iron railings and gate. The gate opens onto a wide pathway to the entrance door, while the remainder of the front garden is laid to lawn with a selection of ornamental shrubs and plants.
The rear garden is bordered by granite walls, providing a high degree of privacy and helping to create a tranquil oasis. The well established garden is stocked with a wide variety of plants, trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers, with a large area of lawn to the centre. With ample opportunity for “al fresco” dining, a pathway leads down the garden to a gate providing access to the rear lane. The double garage is accessible via the lane and benefits from an electronic up and over door, power and light. Further storage is available within the former coal cellar, while there is also an outdoor WC.
Fixtures and fittings
The floor coverings, curtains, blinds, light fittings, shades, integral kitchen appliances and washing machine will be included within the sale. The wardrobe in the first floor front bedroom and the safe may be available by separate negotiation.
