2 bedroom flat
Cockburn Crescent, Balerno, EH14 7EN

Bright Upper Villa requiring substantial modernisation and cosmetic upgrading, but offering excellent potential to provide an attractive home in a quiet position with fine open views. It comprises entrance stairway, hall, lounge, kitchen, two double bedrooms and bathroom and has an area of private garden ground to the rear. A driveway provides off-street parking and leads to a single garage with electrically powered up and over door, power and light. It is anticipated that this home will prove to be of particular interest to perhaps the first time buyer, professional couple of investor and early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer.

Like so many villages in and around Edinburgh, Balerno was once a small hamlet, miles from the nearest neighbour. However, as these villages grew and spread they eventually met and merged to form the City, as it is now. Balerno is, therefore, very much part of Edinburgh. Nevertheless, it has succeeded in remaining pleasantly rural in nature. All around is open countryside. Close to this property is woodland, which stretches out further than the eye can see. In these directions, are interesting country walks around the City reservoirs and high into the Pentland Hills. Good local amenities are within easy reach of the property, including shopping, banking, building society and post office facilities. Nurseries and both primary and secondary schooling are within easy reach and further facilities are available in nearby Currie. Lanark Road West provides the link to Edinburgh by car or the regular local bus service. Commuters can also travel by train from Currie Hill Railway Station and there is easy access to the City Bypass for travelling to many destinations. Hermiston Park and Ride facility is close by. The property is also handy for Heriot Watt University’s Riccarton Campus and Dalmahoy Country Club and Golf Course.
